ORDER OF WORSHIP. 



PART I. 

[The minister commences the service by reading one of the following, or some other 
portion of the Word : and where it can be done, the portion may be sung : all 
standing. ] 

Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of Je- 
hovah, 
To the house of the God of Jacob ; 
And he will teach us of his ways. 
And we will walk in his paths : 
For out of Zion shall go forth the law, 
And the word of Jehovah from Jerusalem. 
And he shall judge among the nations, 
And shall rebuke many people : 
And they shall beat their swords into ploughshares. 
And their spears into pruning-hooks : 
Nation shall not lift up sword against nation. 
Neither shall they learn war any more. 
O house of Jacob ! come ye. 
And let us walk in the light of Jehovah. [Sel. 72.] 

Bless Jehovah, O my soul ! 
And all that is within me, bless his holy name. 
Bless Jehovah, O my soul ! 
And forget not all his benefits : 
Who forgiveth all thine iniquities ; 



4 ORDER OF WORSHIP. 

Who healeth all thy diseases ; 

Who redeemeth thy life from destruction ; 

Who crowneth thee with kindness and mercies ; 

Who satisfieth thy mouth with good ; 

Thy youth is renewed like the eagle's. 

Jehovah executeth righteousness 

And judgment for all that are oppressed. 

He made known his ways to Moses, 

His acts to the children of Israel. [Sel. 126.] 

I WAS glad when they said unto me. 
Let us go to the house of Jehovah ; 
Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem : 
Jerusalem is huilt as a city compact together. 
Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of Jah : 
A testimony to Israel, to give thanks to the name of 

Jehovah. 
For there are set thrones of judgment : 
The thrones of the house of David. 
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem : 
They shall prosper that love thee. 
Peace be within thy walls ; 
Prosperity within thy palaces. 
For my brethren and companions' sakes, 
I will now say, Peace be within thee. 
For the sake of the house of Jehovah our God, 
I will seek good to thee. [Sel. 44.] 

How beautiful upon the mountains 
Are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, 
That proclaimeth peace : 
That bringeth good tidings of good. 
That publisheth salvation ; 
That saith to Zion, Thy God reigneth ! 
Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice : 
With the voice together shall they sing. 
For they shall see eye to eye, 
When Jehovah shall bring again Zion. 
Break forth into joy : 
Sing together, ye waste places of Jerusalem. 



ORDER OF WORSHIP. ^ 

For Jehovah hath comforted his people ; 

He hath redeemed Jerusalem. 

Jehovah hath made bare his holy arm, 

In the eyes of all the nations. 

And all the ends of the earth 

Shall see the salvation of our God. [Sel. 65.] 



PART II. 

[Then shall be read one or more of the following passages from the Word, as intro- 
ductory to prayer.] 

Take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, 
What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be 
clothed? For after all these things do the Gentiles 
seek : for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have 
need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom 
of God, and his righteousness; and all these things 
shall be added unto you. 

Ask, and it shall be given you ; seek, and ye shall 
find ; knock, and it shall be opened unto you : for 
every one that asketh receiveth ; and he that seeketh 
findeth ; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. 
Or what man is there of you, of whom if his son ask 
bread, will he give him a stone ? or if he ask a fish, 
will he give him a serpent ? If ye then, being evil, 
know how to give good gifts unto your children, how 
much more shall your Father who is in heaven give 
good things to them that ask him ! Therefore all 
things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, 
do ye even so to them : for this is the Law and the 
Prophets. 

At that time, Jesus answered and said, I thank 
thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because 
thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, 
and hast revealed them unto babes. Even so, Father : 
for so it seemed good in thy sight ! All things are 
delivered unto me of my Father : and no one knoweth 
1# 



6 ORDER OF WORSHIP. 

the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any one 
the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the 
Son will reveal him. 

Come mito me, all ye that labor and are heavy 
laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon 
you, and learn of me ; for I am meek and lowly in 
heart : and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For 
my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. 

Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any one will 
come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his 
cross, and follow me. For whosoever will save his 
life shall lose it : and whosoever will lose his life for 
my sake shall find it. For what is a man profited, 
if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own 
soul ? or what shall a man give in exchange for his 
soul? For the Son of man shall come in the glory 
of his Father with his angels; and then he shall 
reward every man according to his works. 

Again 1 say unto you, That if two of you shall 
agree on earth, as touching any thing that they shall 
ask, it shall be done for them of my Father who is 
in heaven : for where two or three are gathered to- 
gether in my name, there am I in the midst of them. 
Then came Peter to him, and said. Lord, how oft 
shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him 7 
till seven times 1 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto 
thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven. 

And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith 
of God. For verily I say unto you, that whosoever 
shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and 
be thou cast into the sea ; and shall not doubt in his 
heart, but shall believe that those things which he 
saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever 
he saith. Therefore I say unto you, What things 
soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive 
them, and ye shall have them. And when ye stand 



ORDER OF WORSHIP. 7 

pra3dng, forgive, if ye have aught against any : that 
your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you 
your trespasses. But if ye do not forgive, neither will 
your Father who is in heaven forgive your trespasses. 

But I say unto you who hear, Love your enemies, 
do good to them who hate you, bless them that curse 
you, and pray for them who despitefully use you. And 
unto him that smiteth thee on the cheek, offer also the 
other ; and him that taketh away thy cloak, forbid not 
to take thy coat also. Give to every one that asketh 
of thee ; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask 
them not again. And as ye would that men should 
do to you, do ye also to them likewise. 

But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, 
hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be 
great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest : 
for he is kind unto the unthankful and the evil. Be 
ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful. 

And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you ; 
seek, and ye shall find ; knock, and it shall be opened 
unto you. For every one that asketh receiveth ; and 
he that seeketh findeth ; and to him that knocketh it 
shall be opened. If a son shall ask bread of any of 
you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or 
if a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent ? or if 
he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion ? If 
ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto 
your children; how much more shall the heavenly 
Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him ! 

Take heed to yourselves ! If thy brother trespass 
against thee, rebuke him ; and if he repent, forgive 
him. And if he trespass against thee seven times in 
a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, 
saying, I repent ; thou shalt forgive him. 

Two men went up into the temple to pray ; the one 



8 ORDER OF WORSHIP. 

a Pharisee, and the other a Publican. The Pharisee 
stood and prayed thus with himself: God, I thank 
thee, that I am not as other men, extortioners, unjust, 
adulterers, or even as this Publican. I fast twice in 
the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. And the 
Publican, standing afar off, would not lift so much as 
the eyes unto heaven; but smote upon his breast, 
saying, God be merciful to me a sinner ! I tell you, 
this man went down to his house justified rather than 
the other : for every one that exalteth himself shall 
be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be 
exalted. 

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was 
with God, and the Word was God. The same was in 
the beginning with God. All things were made by 
him; and without him was not any thing made that 
was made. In him was life ; and the life was the light 
of men. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt 
among us ; and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the 
only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. 

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only 
begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should 
not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent 
not his Son into the world to condemn the world; 
but that the world through him might be saved. 

But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true 
worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in 
truth : for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 
God is a Spirit; and they that worship him must 
worship in spirit and in truth. 

And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life : 
he that cometh to me shall never hunger ; and he that 
believeth on me shall never thirst. All that the Father 
giveth me shall come to me ; and him that cometh to 
me I will in no wise cast out. 



ORDER OF WORSHIP. 9 

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and 
they follow me : and I give unto them eternal life ; 
and they shall never perish, neither shall any one 
pluck them out of my hand. My Father, who gave 
them me, is greater than all ; and no one is ahle to 
pluck them out of my Father's hand. I and the 
Father are one. 

Jesus saith unto him, I am the Way, the Truth, 
and the Life : no one cometh unto the Father, hut 
hy me. If ye had known me, ye should have known 
my Father also ; and from henceforth ye know him, 
and have seen him. 

Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father 
in me : or else helieve me for the very works' sake. 
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that helieveth on 
me, the works that I do shall he do also : and 
greater ones than these shall he do; because I go 
unto my Father. And whatsoever ye shall ask in 
my name, that will I do ; that the Father may be glo- 
rified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my 
name, I will do it. 

I AM the true Vine, and my Father is the Husband- 
man. Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he 
taketh away : and every one that beareth fruit he 
purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. Now ye 
are clean through the word which I have spoken unto 
you. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch 
cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine : 
no more can ye, except ye abide in me. 

I AM the Vine, ye are the branches : he that abideth 
in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much 
fruit : for without me ye can do nothing. If a man 
abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is 
withered ; and men gather them, and cast them into 
the fire, and they are burned. If ye abide in me, and 



10 ORDER OF WORSHIP. 

my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, 
and it shall be done unto you. 

Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much 
fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. As the Father hath 
loved me, so have I loved you : continue ye in my love. 
If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my 
love; even as I have kept my Father's command- 
ments, and abide in his love. 

Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, 
and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth 
fruit, and that your fruit should remain : that whatso- 
ever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may 
give it you. These things I command you, that ye 
love one another. 

Verily, verily, I say unto you. Whatsoever ye shall 
ask the Father in my name, he will give it you. 
Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name : ask, and 
ye shall receive, that your joy may be full. These 
things have I spoken unto you in proverbs ; but the 
time cometh when I shall no more speak unto you in 
proverbs, but I shall show you plainly of the Father. 
At that day ye shall ask in my name : and I say not 
unto you, that I will pray the Father for you : for the 
Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, 
and have believed that I came out from God. I came 
forth from the Father, and am come into the world : 
again, I leave the world, and go to the Father. 

For unto us a Child is born. 
Unto us a Son is given : 

And the government shall be upon his shoulder : 
And his name shall be called 
Wonderful, Counsellor, God, the Mighty, 
The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. 
Of the increase of his government and peace there shall 

be no end, 
Upon the throne of David and upon his kingdom ; 



ORDER OF WORSHIP. XI 

To order it, and to establish it, 

With judgment and with justice. 

From henceforth even for ever : 

The zeal of Jehovah of hosts will perform this. 

And it shall be said in that day, 
Lo, this is our God ! 

We have waited for him, and he will save us : 
This is Jehovah ! 
We have waited for him, 
We will be glad and rejoice in his salvation. 

Seek ye Jehovah, while he may be found, 
Call ye upon him while he is near : 
Let the wicked forsake his way, 
And the unrighteous man his thoughts : 
And let him return to Jehovah, and he will have 

mercy upon him ; 
And to. our God, for he will abundantly pardon. 

Wherewith shall I come before Jehovah, 
And bow myself before the high God? 
Shall I come before him with burnt offerings. 
With calves of a year old 7 

Will Jehovah be pleased with thousands of rams. 
Or with ten thousands of rivers of oil ? 
Shall I give my firstborn for my transgressions, 
The fruit of my body for the sins of my soul ! 
He hath showed thee, O man ! what is good ; 
And what doth Jehovah require of thee. 
But to do justly, and to love mercy, 
And to walk humbly with thy God 7 

O come ! let us worship and bow down : 
Let us kneel before the face of Jehovah, our Maker. 

And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the 
hypocrites : for they love to pray standing in the 
synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that 
they may be seen of men. Yerily I say unto you, 



12 ORDER OF WORSHIP. 

They have their reward. But thou, when thou 
pray est, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast 
shut thy door, pray to thy Father who is in secret; 
and thy Father who seeth in secret shall reward thee 
openly. But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, 
as the heathen do : for they think that they shall be 
heard for their much speaking. Be not ye therefore 
like unto them : for your Father knoweth what things 
ye have need of, before ye ask him. After this man- 
ner therefore pray ye : 

PART III. 

[Then shall be said ihe Lord's Prayer, all kneeling.] 

Our Father who art in the heavens : Hallowed be 
thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, 
as in heaven, so also upon the earth. Give us this day 
our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also 
forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation ; 
but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, 
and the power and the glory, forever. Amen.

THE TEN COMMANDMENTS. 

EXODUS XX, 

Now therefore hearken, O Israel, to the statutes 
and to the judgments, which I teach you, to do, that 
ye may hve, and go in and possess the land which 
Jehovah the God of your fathers giveth you. Ye shall 
not add to the word which 1 command you, neither 
shall ye diminish from it, that ye may keep the com- 
mandments of Jehovah your God which I command 
you. 

And God spake all these words, saying, 

L 

I AM Jehovah thy God, who have brought thee out 
of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. 
Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Thou shalt 
not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness 
of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the 
earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth : 
thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve 
them : for I Jehovah thy God am a jealous God, visit- 
ing the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto 
the third and fourth generation of them that hate me ; 
and showing mercy unto the thousandth generation of 
them that love me, and keep my commandments. 

Holy, holy, holy, is Je|hovah of Hosts ; 
His glory is the fullness of | all the earth. 

n. 

Thou shalt not take the name of Jehovah thy God 
in vain : for Jehovah will not hold him guiltless that 
taketh his name in vain. 

He hath commanded his | covenant forever ; 
Holy and reverend | is his name. 

HI. 

Remember the sabbath day to keep it holy. Six 
days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work : but the 
2 



14 ORDER OF WORSHIP. 

seventh day is the sabbath of Jehovah thy God : in it 
thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy 
daughter, thy man-servant, nor thy maid-servant, nor 
thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates : for 
in six days Jehovah made heaven and earth, the sea, 
and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day : 
wherefore Jehovah blessed the sabbath day, and hal- 
lowed it. 

Jehovah is in his | holy temple ; 
Be silent all the | earth before him. 

IV. 

Honor thy father and thy mother; that thy days 
may be long upon the land which Jehovah thy God 
giveth thee. 

Thy hands have | made me, and formed me ; [ments. 

Make me to understand, that I may learn | thy command- 

V. 

Thou shalt not kill. 

With the merciful thou wilt | show thyself merciful ; 
With an upright man thou wilt show thy | self upright. 

VI. 

Thou shalt not commit adultery. 

With the pure thou wilt | show thyself pure ; 

And with the fro ward thou wilt | show thyself fro ward. 

VII. 

Thou shalt not steal. 

Order my steps | in thy word, 

And let not any iniquity rule | over me. 

VIII. 

Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neigh- 
bor. 

I have chosen the | way of truth ; 
Thy judgments have I | laid before me. 



ORDER OF WORSHIP. 15 

IX. 

Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house. 

Incline my heart ] to thy testimonies ; 
And not to un| righteous gain. 

X. 

Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his 
man-servant, nor his maid-servant, nor his ox, nor his 
ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbor's. 

All that JeJhovah hath spoken, 
We will 1 do and hear. 



THE TEN COMMANDMENTS. 

DEUTERONOMY V. 

Hear, O Israel, the statutes and judgments which I 
speak in your ears this day, that ye may learn them, 
and keep, and do them. Jehovah talked with you face 
to face in the mount, out of the midst of the fire, 
saying, 

I. 

I AM Jehovah thy God, who brought thee out of 
xhe land of Egypt, from the house of bondage. Thou 
shalt have none other gods before me. Thou shalt 
not make thee any graven image, or any likeness 
of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the 
earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath the earth : 
thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve 
them : for I Jehovah thy God am a jealous God, visit- 
ing the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, unto 
the third and fourth generation of them that hate me ; 
and showing mercy unto the thousandth generation of 
them that love me, and keep my commandments. 

Holy, holy, holy. Lord | God Almighty ; 
Who art, and who wast, and who 1 art to come. 



16 ORDER OF WORSHIP. 

U. 

Thou shalt not take the name of Jehovah thy God 
in vain : for Jehovah will not hold him guiltless that 
taketh his name in vain. 

Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and | glorify thy name ; 
For thou a I lone art holy. 

III. 

Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it, as Jehovah thy 
God hath commanded thee. Six days thou shalt labor, 
and do all thy work : but the seventh day is the sab- 
bath of Jehovah thy God : in it thou shalt not do any 
work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy 
man-servant, nor thy maid-servant, nor thine ox, nor 
thine ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that 
is within thy gates ; that thy man-servant and thy 
maid-servant may rest as well as thou. And remember 
that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and 
that Jehovah thy God brought thee out thence through 
a mighty hand and by an outstretched arm ; therefore 
Jehovah thy God commanded thee to keep the sabbath 
day. 

This is the day which Je|hovah hath made, 
We will rejoice and be | glad in it. 

lY. 

Honor thy father and thy mother, as Jehovah thy 
God hath commanded thee; that thy days may be 
prolonged, and that it may go well with thee, in the 
land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee. 

Thou art my portion, | Jehovah ; 

I have said that I would | keep thy words. 

V. 

Thou shalt not kill. 

Let thy mercies come unto me, that | I may live ; 
For thy law is | my delight. 



ORDER OF WORSHIP. 17 

VI. 

Neither shalt thou commit adultery. 

Thy word is | very pure, 
Therefore doth thy | servant love it. 

YII. 

Neither shalt thou steal. 

Righteous art thou, | Jehovah ; 
And upright | are thy judgments. 

YIII. 

Neither shalt thou bear false witness against thy 
neighbor. 

Through thy precepts I get | understanding ; 
Therefore every false way | do I hate. 

IX. 

Neither shalt thou desire thy neighbor's wife. 

Thy testimonies have I taken as an | heritage forever, 
For they are the rejoicing | of my heart. 

X. 

Neither shalt thou covet thy neighbor's house, his 
field, or his man-servant, or his maid-servant, his ox, 
or his asSj or any thing that is thy neighbor's. 

Thou art near, | Jehovah, 

And all thy com|mandments are truth. 



THE NEW COVENANT. 

And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a moun- 
tain : and when he had sat down his disciples came 
unto him. And he opened his mouth, and taught 
them, saying, 

Blessed are the poor in spirit : for theirs is the king- 
dom of heaven. 
2=^ 



]8 ORDER OF WORSHIP. 

Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be 
comforted. 

Blessed are the meek : for they shall inherit the 
earth. 

Blessed are they that do hunger and thirst after 
righteousness : for they shall be filled. 

Blessed are the merciful : for they shall obtain 
mercy. 

Blessed are the pure in heart : for they shall see 
God. 

Blessed are the peace-makers : for they shall be 
called the children of God. 

Blessed are they that are persecuted for righteous- 
ness' sake : for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 

Blessed are ye, when they shall revile you, and per- 
secute you, and shall say all manner of evil against 
you falsely, for my sake. 

Rejoice and be exceeding glad ; for great is your 
reward in heaven : for so persecuted they the prophets 
who were before you. 

[After these Blessings, one or more of the following passages may be read.] 

Ye are the salt of the earth : but if the salt have lost 
its savor, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth 
good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden 
under foot of men. Ye are the light of the world. A 
city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do 
men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on 
a candlestick ; and it giveth light unto all that are in 
the house. Let your light so shine before men, that 
they may see your good works, and glorify your Fa- 
ther who is in heaven. 

Think not that I am come to destroy the Law, or the 
Prophets : I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For 
verily, I say unto you. Till heaven and earth pass, one 
jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till 
all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one 



ORDER OF WORSHIP. 19 

of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, 
he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven : 
but whosoever shall do, and teach them, the same shall 
be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I say 
unto yon, that except your righteousness shall exceed 
that of the Scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case 
enter into the kingdom af heaven. 

Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time. 
Thou shah not kill ; and whosoever shall kill, shall be 
in danger of the judgment : But I say unto you, That 
whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause, 
shall be in danger of the judgment : and whosoever 
shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the 
council : but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be 
in danger of hell-fire. Therefore if thou bring thy gift 
to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother 
hath aught against thee; leave there thy gift before the 
altar, and go thy way : first be reconciled to thy bro- 
ther, and then come and offer thy gift. Agree with 
thine adversary quickly, while thou art in the way 
with him ; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee 
to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, 
and thou be cast into prison. Yerily I say unto thee, 
Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou 
hast paid the uttermost farthing. 

Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time. 
Thou shalt not commit adultery: But I say unto you. 
That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her, 
hath committed adultery with her already in his 
heart. And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, 
and cast it from thee : for it is profitable for thee that 
one of thy members should perish, and not that thy 
whole body should be cast into hell. And if thy right 
hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee : for 
it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should 
perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast 
into hell. It hath been said, Whosoever shall put 
away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorce-

ment : but I say unto you, That whosoever shall put 
away his wife, save for the cause of fornication, caus- 
eth her to commit adultery : and whosoever shall 
marry her that is divorced committeth adultery. 

Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them 
of old time. Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt 
perform unto the Lord thine oaths : But I say unto 
you. Swear not at all : neither by heaven : for it is 
God's throne : nor by the earth ; for it is his footstool : 
neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great 
King: neither shalt thou swear by thy head; because 
thou canst not make one hair white or black. But let 
your communication be Yea, yea ; Nay, nay : for 
whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil. 

Ye have heard that it hath been said. An eye for an 
eye, and a tooth for a tooth. But I say unto you, That 
ye resist not evil : but whosoever shall smite thee on 
thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. And if 
any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy 
coat, let him have thy cloak also. And whosoever 
shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain. 
Give to him that asketh thee; and from him that 
would borrow of thee, turn not thou away. 

Ye have heard that it hath been said. Thou shalt 
love thy neighbor, and hate thine enemy: But I say 
unto you. Love your enemies, bless them that curse 
you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them 
that despitefully use you, and persecute you: that ye 
may be the children of your Father who is in heaven : 
for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the 
good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. 
For if ye love them that love you, what reward have 
ye 7 do not even the publicans the same ? And if ye 
salute your brethren only, what do ye more than 
others? do not even the publicans so? Be ye therefore 
perfect, even as your Father who is in heaven is 
perfect. 



ORDER OF WORSHIP. 21 

Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to 
be seen of them : otherwise ye have no reward of your 
Father who is in heaven. Therefore when thou doest 
almSj do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypo- 
crites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they 
may have glory of men. Yerily I say unto you, They 
have their reward. But when thou doest alms, let not 
thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth : that 
thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father who 
seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly. 

And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hy- 
pocrites : for they love to pray standing in the syna- 
gogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may 
be seen of men. Yerily I say unto you, They have 
their reward. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into 
thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to 
thy Father who is in secret; and thy Father who 
seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. But Avhen 
ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do : 
for they think that they shall be heard for their much 
speaking. Be not ye therefore like unto them : for 
your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, be- 
fore ye ask him. After this manner therefore pray ye : 
Our Father, who art in the heavens; Hallowed be thy 
name. Thy khigdom come. Thy will be done, as in 
heaven, so also upon the earth. Give us this day our 
daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also 
forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation; 
but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, 
and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen. For 
if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father 
will also forgive you : but if ye forgive not men their 
trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your tres- 
passes. 

Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of 
a sad countenance : for they disfigure their faces, that 
they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto 
yoUj they have their reward. But thou, when thou 



22 ORDER OF WORSHIP- 

fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face ; that thou 
appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father who 
is in secret: and thy Father, who seeth in secret, 
shall reward thee openly. 

Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, 
where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves 
break through and steal : but lay up for yourselves 
treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth 
corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor 
steal: for where your treasure is, there will your heart 
be also. The light of the body is the eye : if therefore 
thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of 
light. But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall 
be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in 
thee be darkness, how great is that darkness ! No man 
can serve two masters : for either he will hate the 
one, and love the other ; or else he will hold to the one, 
and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mam- 
mon. Therefore I say unto you. Take no thought for 
your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink ; 
nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not 
the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? 
Behold the fowls of the air : for they sow not, neither 
do they reap, nor gather into barns ; yet your heavenly 
Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than 
they? Which of you by taking thought can add one 
cubit unto his stature? And why take ye thought for 
raiment ? Consider the lilies of the field, how they 
grow ; they toil not, neither do they spin : and yet I 
say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was 
not arrayed like one of these ! Wherefore, if God so 
clothe the grass of the field, which to-day is, and to- 
morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more 
clothe you, O ye of little faith? Therefore take no 
thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall 
we drink? or. Wherewithal shall we be clothed? for 
after all these things do the Gentiles seek : for your 
heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all 



ORDER OF WORSHIP. 23 

these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, 
and his righteousness ; and all these things shall he 
added unto you. Take therefore no thought for the 
morrow : for the morrow shall take thought for the 
things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil 
thereof. 

Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what 
judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged : and with what 
measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. 
And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy bro- 
ther's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine 
own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother. Let 
me pull out the mote out of thine eye ; and, behold ! a 
beam is in thine own eye ? Thou hypocrite, first cast 
out the beam out of thine own eye ; and then shalt 
thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy bro- 
ther's eye. 

Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither 
cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample 
them under their feet, and turn again and rend you. 

Ask, and it shall be given you ; seek, and ye shall 
find ; knock, and it shall be opened unto you : for 
every one that asketh receiveth ; and he that seeketh 
findeth ; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. 
Or what man is there of you, of whom if his son ask 
bread, will he give him a stone? Or if he ask a fish, 
will he give him a serpent? If ye, then, being evil, 
know how to give good gifts unto your children, how 
much more shall your Father who is in heaven give 
good things to them that ask him ! Therefore all 
things whatsoever ye would that men should do to 
you, do ye even so to them : for this is the Law and 
the Prophets. 

Enter ye in at the strait gate : for wide is the gate, 
and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction ; and 



24 ORDER OF WORSHIP. 

many there be who go in thereat : because strait is the 
gate, and narrow is the wa^^, whicli leadeth unto life; 
and few there be that find it. 

Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's 
clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye 
shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather 
grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles ? Even so every 
good tree bringeth forth good fruit ; but a corrupt tree 
bringeth forth bad fruit. A good tree cannot bring 
forth bad fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth 
good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good 
fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore 
by their fruits ye shall know them. 

Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall 
enter into the kingdom of heaven ; i3ut he that doeth 
the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will 
say to me in that day. Lord, Lord, have we not pro- 
phesied in thy name? and in thy name cast out devils'? 
and in thy name done many wonderful works? And 
then will I profess to them, I never knew you : depart 
from me, ye that work iniquity. Therefore, whosoever 
heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will 
liken him to a wise man, who built his house upon a 
rock : and the rain descended, and the floods came, 
and the winds blew, and beat upon that house ; and it 
fell not : for it was founded upon a rock. And every 
one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them 
not, shall be likened to a foolish man, who built his 
house upon the sand : and the rain descended, and the 
floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that 
house ; and it fell : and great was the fall of it. 

And it came to pass when Jesus had ended these 
sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine. 
For he taught them as having authority, and not as 
the scribes.

BAPTISM. 



[The Minister commences by delivering some introductory instructions. The following 
may be used, in whole or in part.] 

NATURE AND USES OF BAPTISM. 

The primary thing which distinguished the Israelitish 
church from, the Christian, was circumcision ; and because all 
things of the Israelitish church, which were external, figured 
forth all the things of the Christian church, which were inter- 
nal ; therefore the primary sign of that church was inwardly 
similar to the sign of the Christian church : for circumcision 
signified the rejection of the lusts of the flesh, and thus purifi- 
cation from evils. Baptism also signifies the same ; whence 
it is manifest that baptism was commanded in the room of cir- 
cumcision, in order both that the Christian church might be 
distinguished from the Jewish church, and that the internal 
church might thus be better known : and this is known from 
the uses of baptism, which are as follows. 

The first use of baptism is introduction into tlie Christian 
church, and at the same time insertion among Christians in 
the spiritual world. 

Not only infants, but also all, are inserted by baptism 
among Christians in the spiritual world; because people and 
nations in that world are distinguished according to their 
religions, as Christians, Mahometans, Idolaters and Jews. 
And all, of the same religion, are arranged into societies in 
heaven, according to the affections of love to God and love 
towards the neighbor. On this distinct arrangement there, 
the preservation of the whole universe depends ; and this dis- 
tinction cannot be effected, unless every one, after he is born, 
be known by some sign, indicating to what religious society 
he belongs : and baptism is a sign in that world, that a man 
is of Christians. 



BAPTISM. 27 

The second use of baptism is, that the Christian may know 
and acknowledge the Lord Jesus Christ, the Redeemer and 
Savior, and follow him. 

This second use inseparably follows from the first. For 
the name that one is a Christian, that is, that he is of Christ, 
and not to acknowledge him and follow him, that is, to live 
according to his commandments, is as a shadow. 

By the name of the Lord Jesus Christ are meant his divine 
qualities or attributes ; and by being baptized into his name 
are spiritually signified an acknowledgment of him, and a 
life according to his commandments. By name also is meant 
the quality of any person : the reason is, because in the spi- 
ritual world every one is named according to his quality : 
wherefore by the name that one is a Christian is meant his 
quality, that he has faith in Christ, and charity towards the 
neighbor for Christ. This name all receive at baptism, for it 
is in the sign. 

The third use of baptism, which is the final use, is that 
man may be regenerated. 

This use is the very use, for the sake of which baptism was 
instituted; thus the final use. The reason is, because he 
who is truly a Christian, knows and acknowledges the Lord 
the Redeemer Jesus Christ, w^ho, because he is the Redeemer, 
is also the Regenerator. 

These three uses of baptism cohere as one. For the first 
use is, that one may be named a Christian : the second fol- 
lowing from this is, that he ma}^ know and acknowledge the 
Lord, the Redeemer, Regenerator and Savior : and the third 
is, that he may be regenerated by him : and when this is 
done, he is redeemed and saved. Since these three uses fol- 
low in order and join themselves together in the last, and 
thence in the idea of the angels cohere as one, therefore when 
baptism is performed, read in the w^ord, and named, the an- 
gels who are present do not understand baptism, but regenera- 
tion. Let the Christian therefore know, that whosoever does 
not believe in the Lord, cannot be regenerated, although he 
has been baptized ; and that baptism wnthout faith in the 
Lord, has no saving effect. 

It is said in the Word, that the Lord God, our Redeemer, 
baptizes with the Holy Spirit and with fire. By this is meant 
that the Lord regenerates man by the divine truth of faith, 
and by the divine good of love or charity. Those who have 
been regenerated by the Holy Spirit, that is, by the divine 



28 BAPTISM. 

truth of faith, are distinguished in the heavens from those 
who have been regenerated by fire, that is, by the divine 
good of love. Those who have been regenerated by the 
divine truth of faith, are called spiritual angels ; but those who 
have been regenerated by the divine good of love, are called 
celestial angels. 

[Then the Minister may read the following.] 

ARTICLES OF FAITH. 

I. That God is one in essence, and in person : that 
from love towards men he assumed humanity and glo- 
rified it : and that he thus became God with us, the 
Savior and Redeemer, Jesus Christ. 

II. That the Word is Divine Truth, proceeding from 
the Lord : that it was written by inspiration, and is 
adapted to all the various states of angels and men : 
and that thus it is the divine medium by which men 
are consociated with angels, and by which men and 

, angels are conjoined with the Lord. 

Il III. That the Lord alone is the Source of genuine 

r life, the precepts of which are the Ten Commandments : 

that these precepts are to be obeyed by man as of him- 
self, with the acknowledgment that the will and power 
to do them are of the Lord alone : and thus that men 
are regenerated and saved by the Lord, by means of a 
life according to his precepts. 

[The Minister shall then read one or more of the following passages from the Word.] 

Comfort ye, comfort ye my people ! 
Saith your God. 

Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her. 
That her warfare is accomplished, 
That her iniquity is pardoned : 
For she hath received of Jehovah's hand 
Double for all her sins. 

The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, 
Prepare ye the way of Jehovah ; 



BAPTISM. 29 

Make straight in the desert a highway for our God ! 

Every valley shall be exalted, 

And every mountain and hill shall be made low ; 

And the crooked shall be made straight, 

And the rough places plain : 

And the glory of Jehovah shall be revealed, 

And all flesh shall see it together : 

For the mouth of Jehovah hath spoken it. 

Behold ! I will send my messenger, 
And he shall prepare the way before me : 
And the Lord, whom ye seek, 
Shall suddenly come to his temple, 
Even the Messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight 

in : 
Behold ! he shall come, saith Jehovah of hosts. 
But who may abide the day of his coming ! 
And who shall stand when he appeareth ! 
For he is like a refiner's fire, and like fuller's soap : 
And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver : 
And he shall purify the sons of Levi, 
And purge them as gold and silver. 
That they may ofier unto Jehovah an oflering in right- 
eousness. 
Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem 
Be pleasant unto Jehovah, 
As in the days of old. 
And as in former years. 

In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in 
the wilderness of Judaea, and saying, Repent ye : for 
the kingdom of heaven is at hand ! For this is he that 
was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The 
voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the 
way of the Lord ! make his paths straight ! And the 
same John had his raiment of camel's hair, and a lea- 
thern girdle about his loins ; and his meat was locusts 
and wild honey. 

Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, 
and all the region round about Jordan, and were bap- 



30 BAPTISM. 

tized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins. But when 
he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to 
his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers! 
who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come 7 
Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance : and 
think not to say within yourselves. We have Abraham 
for a father : for I say unto you, that God is able of 
these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. And 
now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees : 
therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good 
fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. I indeed 
baptize you with water unto repentance : but he that 
Cometh after me is mightier than 1, whose shoes I am 
not worthy to bear : he shall baptize you with the Holy 
Spirit, and with fire : whose fan is in his hand, and he 
will thoroughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat 
into the garner ; but he will burn up the chafi" with 
unquenchable fire. 

Then cometh Jesas from Galilee to Jordan unto 
John, to be baptized of him. But John forbade him, 
saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest 
thou to me ! And Jesus answering said unto him, 
Suffer it 1o be so now ; for thus it becometh us to fulfil 
all righteousness. Then he suffered him. And Jesus, 
when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the 
water : and, lo ! the heavens were opened unto him, 
and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, 
and lighting upon him : and lo ! a voice from heaven, 
saying. This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well 
pleased. 

There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicode- 
mus, a ruler of the Jcavs : the same came to Jesus by 
night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou 
art a teacher come from God : for no man can do these 
miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. 

Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I 
say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot 
see the kingdom of God. 

Nicodemus saith unto him. How can a man be born 



BAPTISM. 31 

when he is old 7 can he enter the second time into his 
mother's womb, and be born'? 

Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, ex- 
cept a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he can- 
not enter into the kingdom of God. That which is 
born of the flesh is flesh ; and that which is born of the 
Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee. Ye 
must be born again. The wind bloweth where it list- 
eth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not 
tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth : so is every 
one that is born of the Spirit. 

Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can 
these things be ? 

Jesus answered and said unto him. Art thou a master 
of Israel, and knowest not these things 7 Yerily, verily, 
I say unto thee. We speak what we do know, and testify 
what we have seen ; and ye receive not our witness. 
If I have told you earthly things, and ye believed not, 
how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things ? 
And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that 
came down from heaven, even the Son of man who 
is in heaven. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in 
the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted 
up : that whosoever belie veth in him should not perish, 
but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, 
that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever 
believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting 
life. For God sent not his Son into the world to 
condemn the world ; but that the world through him 
might be saved. He that believeth on him is not con- 
demned : but he that believeth not is condemned al- 
ready, because he hath not believed in the name of the 
only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemna- 
tion, that light is come into the world, and men loved 
darkness rather than light, because their deeds were 
evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, 
neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be 
reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, 
that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are 
wrought in God. 



32 BAPTISM. 

I AM the good shepherd : the good shepherd giveth 
his hfe for the sheep. I am the good shepherd, and 
know my sheep, and am known of mine. As the 
Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: 
and I lay down my hfe for the sheep. And other 
sheep I have, which are not of this fold : them also 
I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and 
there shall be one fold, and one shepherd. There- 
fore doth my Father love me, because 1 lay down my 
life, that I might take it again. No man taketh it 
from me, but I lay it down of myself I have power 
to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. 
This commandment have I received of my Father. 

My sheep hear my voice, and 1 know them, and 
they follow me : and I give unto them eternal life ; 
and they shall never perish, neither shall any one 
pluck them out of my hand. My Father, who gave 
them me, is greater than all ; and no one is able to 
pluck them out of my Father's hand. I and the 
Father are one. 

And they brought young children to him, that he 
should touch them: and the disciples rebuked those 
that brought them. But when Jesus saw it, he was 
much displeased, and said unto them. Suffer the little 
children to come unto me, and forbid them not : for of 
such is the kingdom of God. Verily, I say unto you, 
Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a 
little child, he shall not enter therein. And he took 
them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and 
blessed them. 

And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying. All 
power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go 
ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them into 
the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the 
Holy Spirit; teaching them to observe all things what- 
soever I have commanded you : and, lo ! I am with 
you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. 



BAPTISM. 33 

iThen the Minister, applying the water, shall say :] 

Thoii art hereby baptized i?ito the 

name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy 
Spirit. Amen. 

[Then placing his hands upon the person's head, he shall say :] 

The Lord bless thee and keep thee ; the Lord make 
his face to shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee ; 
the Lord hft up his countenance upon thee, and give 
thee peace. 

[Then shall be repeated the Lord's Prayer, all kneeling.] 

Our Father who art in the heavens ; Hallowed be 
thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, 
as in heaven, so also upon the earth. Give us this day 
our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also 
forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation ; 
but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, 
and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen. 

BENEDICTION. 

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. 

Amen. 



THE HOLY SUPPER. 



[The Minister commences by giving some introductory instructions. The following 
may be used, in whole or in part.] 



NATURE AND USES OF THE HOLY SUPPER. 

Baptism is an introduction into the church, and the Holy- 
Supper is an introduction into heaven. These two sacra- 
ments are, as it were, two gates to eternal life. Every 
Christian man by baptism, which is the first gate, is admitted 
and introduced into the things which the church teaches from 
the Word concerning another life ; which all are means, by 
which man may be prepared for and led to heaven. The 
other gate is the Holy Supper, through which every man, 
who has suffered himself to be prepared and led by the Lord, 
is admitted and introduced into heaven. 

The holiness of this sacrament is made manifest, since the 
spiritual sense of the Word, and the correspondence of natural 
things with spiritual, have by the divine mercy of the Lord 
been revealed. 

By these four things, ^e^A, hlood, bread and wine, are meant 
the spiritual and celestial things which correspond to them, as 
may be evident from the passages in the Word where they 
are named. By jlesh and blood are meant good and truth, 
both spiritual. This is still more evident from the significa- 
tion of bread find wine ; since the Lord says, that his flesh is 
bread, and that his blood is wine. 

That by the blood of the Lord is meant the Divine Truth 
of Himself and the Word, is because by his flesh spiritually is 
meant the divine good of love ; and these two are united in 
the Lord. It is known that the Lord is the Word ; and there 
are two things to which all things of the Word have reference, 



THE HOLY SUPPER. 35 

divine good and divine truth ; wherefore if the Word is taken 
for the Lord, it is manifest, that these two things are meant 
by his flesh and blood. That the divine truth of the Lord, 
or of the Word, is meant by blood, is evident from many pas- 
sao"es ; as that blood was called the blood of the covenant ; 
and a covenant is conjunction, and this is effected by the Lord 
by means of his divine truth. By the Blood of the Neio Co- 
venant, or Testament, nothing else is signified but the Word, 
which is called a Covenant and Testament, Old and New, thus 
the divine truth therein. Since this is signified by blood, 
therefore the Lord gave them wine, saying. This is my blood, ; 
and wine signifies divine truth; wherefore it also is called 
the blood of grapes. Hence, now, it may be evident what is 
meant by the flesh and blood of the Lord, and by bread and 
wine, in the threefold sense, natural, spiritual and celestial. 

Every man in Christendom, imbued with religion, may 
know, or if he does not know, may learn, that natural nourish- 
ment is for the body, but spiritual nourishment for the soul : 
for Jehovah, the Lord, says in Moses, Man doth not live by 
bread alone, but by every thing that proceedeth out of the 
mouth of Jehovah doth man live. Now, because the body 
dies, and the soul lives after death, it follows, that spiritual 
nourishment is for eternal salvation. But if anj'- one cannot 
think any thing else from the understanding than what he sees 
with the eye, let him think with himself concerning the holy 
supper, when he takes the bread and wine and hears them 
then called the flesh and blood of the Lord, that it is the most 
holy thing of worship ; and let him remember the passion of 
Christ, and his love for the salvation of man ; for he says. 
Do this in remembrance of Me. 

The holy supper is, to those who come to it worthily, a 
signing and seal that they are the sons of God ; because the 
Lord is then present, and introduces into heaven those who 
are born of him, that is, the regenerate. That the holy sup- 
per does this, is because the Lord is then present also, as to 
his Human : for He says of the bread, This is my body, and 
of the wine. This is my blood ; consequently, he admits them 
into his body ; and the church and heaven constitute his body. 
When man is being regenerated, the Lord is indeed present, 
and by his divine operation prepares man for heaven; but 
that he may actually enter, man must actually present himself 
to the Lord : and because the Lord actually presents himself 
to man, man must actually receive Him ; not, indeed, as He 



36 THE HOLY SUPPER. 

hung on the cross, but as He is, in his glorified Human, in 
which He is present: and the body of this is divine good, and 
its blood is divine truth. These are given to man, and by 
them he is regenerated, and is in the Lord, and the Lord in 
him ; for, as was shown, the eating which is performed in the 
holy supper is a spiritual eating. From these things, rightly 
perceived, it is evident, that the holy supper is a signing and 
seal, that those who come to it worthily are the sons of 
God. 

Wherefore, all those who worthily go to the holy Communion, 
become his redeemed ; and because by redemption are meant 
deliverance from hell, and conjunction with Him, and salva- 
tion, therefore those fruits are ascribed to man ; not, indeed, 
so far as the Lord wills, because from his divine love He wills 
to ascribe them all ; but as far as man receives : and he who 
receives is redeemed in the degree in which he receives. 
Whence it is evident, that the effects and fruits of the Lord's 
redemption return to those who worthily approach. 

[Tlien shall be read some of the following portions from the Word.] 

And in this mountain shall Jehovah of hosts make 

unto all people 
A feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, 
Of fat things full of marrow, 
Of wines on the lees well refined. 
And he will destroy in this mountain 
The face of the covering cast over all people, 
And the vail that is spread over all nations. 
He will swallow up death in victory ; 
And the Lord Jehovah will wipe away tears from off 

all faces ; 
And the rebuke of his people shall he take away from 

off all the earth ; 
For Jehovah hath spoken it. 
And it shall he said in that day, 
Lo, this is our God ! 

We have waited for him, and he will save us : 
This is Jehovah ! 
We have waited for him, 
We will be glad and rejoice in his salvation. 



THE HOLY SUPPER. 37 

And, thou son of man ! thus saith the Lord Jehovih ; 
Speak unto every feathered fowl, and to every beast 
of the field, 

Assemble yourselves, and come ! 
Gather yourselves on every side 
To my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you, 
A great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, 
That ye may eat flesh, and drink blood. 
Ye shall eai the fl-esh of the mighty, 
And drink the blood of the princes of the earth, 
Of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, 
All of them fathngs of Bashan. 
And ye shall eat fat till ye be full, 
And drink blood till ye be drunken, 
Of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you. 
Thus ye shall be filled at my table with horses and 

chariots, 
With mighty men, and with all men of war, 
Saith the Lord Jehovih. 

And I will set my glory among the heathen, 
And all the heathen shall see my judgment that I 

have executed, 
And my hand that I have laid upon them. 
So the house of Israel shall know that I am Jehovah 

their God, 
From that day and forward. 

Alleluia ! for the Lord God Omnipotent reigneth ! 
Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honor to him : for 
the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath 
made herself ready. And to her was granted that she 
should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white : for 
the fine linen is the ri2;hteousness of saints. And he 
saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they who are called 
unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. 

And I saw an angel standing in the sun : and he 
cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly 
in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves 
together unto the supper of the great God !

38 THE HOLY SUPPER. 

Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which 
is called the passover. And the chief priests and 
scribes sought how they might kill him : for they 
feared the people. Then entered Satan into Judas, 
surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve. 
And he went his way, and communed with the chief 
priests and captains, how he might betray him unto 
them. And they were glad, and covenanted to give 
him money. And he promised, and sought opportu- 
nity to betray him unto them in the absence of the 
multitude. 

Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the 
passover must be killed. And he sent Peter and John, 
saying, Go and prepare us the passover, that we may 
eat. And they said unto him. Where wilt thou that 
we prepare 7 And he said unto them. Behold! when 
ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet 
you, bearing a pitcher of water ; follow him into the 
house where he entereth in. And ye shall say unto 
the good man of the house, The Master saith unto thee, 
Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the pass- 
over with my disciples? And he shall show you a 
large upper room furnished : there make ready. And 
they went, and found as he had said unto them : and 
they made ready the passover. 

And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the 
twelve apostles with him. And he said unto them, 
With desire I have desired to eat this passover with 
you before I suffer : for I say unto you, I will not any 
more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of 
God. And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and 
said. Take this, and divide it among yourselves : for I 
say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, 
until the kingdom of God shall come. 

And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, 
and gave unto them, saying. This is my body which 
is given for you : this do ye in remembrance of me. 
Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is 
the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you. 



THE HOLY SUPPER. 39 

Behold ! I stand at the door, and knock : if any one 
hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in unto 
him, and will sup with him, and he with me. To him 
that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my 
throne, even as I also overcame, and sat down with 
my Father in his throne. He that hath an ear, let 
him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches ! 

Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and 
there rememherest that thy brother hath aught against 
thee ; leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy 
way : first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come 
and offer thy gift. 

Labor not for the meat which perisheth, but for that 
meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son 
of man shall give unto you : for him hath God the Father 
sealed. Then said they unto him, What shall we do, 
that we might work the works of God? Jesus an- 
swered and said unto them, This is the work of God, 
that ye believe on him whom he hath sent. They said 
therefore unto him, What sign showest thou then, that 
we may see, and believe thee ? what dost thou work ? 
Our fathers did eat manna in the desert ; as it is writ- 
ten, He gave them bread from heaven to eat. Then 
Jesus said unto them, Yerily, verily, I say unto you, 
Moses gave you not that bread from heaven ; but my 
Father giveth you the true bread from heaven. For 
the bread of God is he who cometh down from heaven, 
and giveth life unto the world. Then said they unto 
him, Lord, evermore give us this bread. And Jesus 
said unto them, I am the bread of life : he that cometh 
to me shall never hunger ; and he that believeth on me 
shall never thirst. But I said unto you, That ye also 
have seen me, and believe not. All that the Father 
giveth me shall come to me ; and him that cometh to 
me I will in no wise cast out. For 1 came down 
from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of 
him that sent me. And this is the Father's will who 
hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I 



40 THE HOLY SUPPER. 

should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at 
the last day. And this is the will of him that sent 
me, that every one who seeth the Son, and believeth 
on him, may have everlasting life : and I will raise 
him up at the last day. 

The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I 
am the bread which came down from heaven. And 
they said, is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose 
father and mother we know? how is it then that he 
saith, I came down from heaven? Jesus therefore 
answered and said unto them. Murmur not among 
yourselves. No one can come to me, except the Fa- 
ther who hath sent me draw him : and I will raise him 
up at the last day. It is written in the Prophets, And 
they shall be all taught of God. Every one therefore 
that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, com- 
eth unto me. Not that any one hath seen the Fa- 
ther, save he who is of God, he hath seen the Father. 
Verily, verily, I say unto you. He that believeth on me 
hath everlasting life. I am that bread of life. Your 
fathers did eat the manna in the wilderness, and are 
dead. This is the bread which cometh down from 
heaven, that one may eat thereof, and not die. I 
am the living bread which came down from heaven: 
if any one eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and 
the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will 
give for the life of the world. 

Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread 
the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where 
wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover ? 
And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say 
unto him, The Master saith, My time is at hand ; I 
will keep the passover at thy house with my disciples. 
And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; 
and they made ready the passover. 

Now when the evening was come, he sat down with 
the twelve. And as they did eat, he said, Verily, I say 
unto you, that one of you shall betray me. And they 
were exceedingly sorrowful, and began every one of 



THE HOLY SUPPER. 41 

them to say nnto him, Lord, is it 17 And he answered 
and said, He that dippeth his hand with me in the 
dish, the same shall betray me. The Son of man 
goeth as it is written of him : but woe unto that man 
by whom the Son of man is betrayed ! it had been 
good for that man if he had not been born ! Then 
Judas, who betrayed him, answered and said. Master, 
is it 1 7 He said unto him, Thou hast said. 

And as they were eating, Jesus took the bread, and 
blessed, and brake, and gave to the disciples, and said, 
Take, eat ; this is my body. And he took the cup, 
and gave thanks, and gave to them, saying, Drink ye 
all of it ; for this is my blood of the new covenant, 
which is shed for many for the remission of sins. But 
I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit 
of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with 
you in my Father's kingdom. And when they had 
sung an hymn, they went out into the Mount of Olives. 

[Then shall be repeated the Lord's Prayer, all kneeling.] 

Our Father, who art in the heavens ; Hallowed be 
thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, 
as in heaven, so also upon the earth. Give us this day 
our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also 
forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation ; 
but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, 
and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen. 

[Then the Minister, distributing tlie bread, shall say :] 

Jesus took the Bread, and blessed, and brake, and 
gave to the disciples, and said, Take, eat ; this is my 
Body. 

And when he gives the cup, he shall say :] 

And he took the Cup, and gave thanks, and gave it 
to them, saying. Drink ye all of it; for this is my 
Blood of the New Covenant, which is shed for many 
for the remission of sins.

42 THE HOLY SUPPER. 

[When all have partaken, the following passages may be read.J 

Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus 
knew that his hour was come that he should depart 
out of this world unto the Father, having loved his 
own who were in the world, he loved them unto the 
end. And supper being ended, (the devil having now 
put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to be- 
tray him.) Jesus knowing that the Father had given 
all things into his hands, and that he came forth from 
God, and was going to God; he riseth from supper, and 
laid aside his garments, and took a towel, and girded 
himself After that he poureth water into a basin, and 
began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them 
with the towel wherewith he was girded. Then com- 
eth he to Simon Peter : and Peter said unto him. Lord, 
dost thou wash my feet? Jesus answered and said 
unto him. What 1 do thou knowest not now; but 
thou shalt know hereafter. Peter saith unto him, 
Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, 
If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me. Simon 
Peter saith unto him. Lord, not my feet only, but also 
my hands and my head. Jesus saith unto him, He 
that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but 
is clean every whit : and ye are clean, but not all. 
For he knew who should betray him : therefore said 
he. Ye are not all clean. 

So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his 
garments, and had sat down again, he said unto them, 
Know ye what I have done to you ? Ye call me 
Master, and Lord : and ye say well ; for so I am. If I 
then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; 
ye also ought to wash one another's feet : for I have 
given you an example, that ye should do as I have 
done to you. Verily, verily, I say unto you, The ser- 
vant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is 
sent greater than he that sent him. If ye know these 
things, happy are ye if ye do them. 

Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto 



THE HOLY SUPPER. 43 

you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and 
drink his blood, ye have no hfe in you. Whoso eateth 
my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal hfe ; and 
I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is 
meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He that 
eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in 
me, and I in him. As the living Father hath sent me, 
and I live by the Father ; so he that eateth me, even 
he shall live by me. This is that bread which came 
down from heaven : not as your fathers did eat the 
manna, and are dead : he that eateth of this bread 
shall live for ever. 

Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, 
lovest thou me more than these ? He saith unto him, 
Yea, Lord ; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith 
unto him, Feed my lambs. He saith to him again the 
second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me ? He 
saith unto him. Yea, Lord ; thou knowest that I love 
thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep. He saith 
unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest 
thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto 
him the third time, Lovest thou me ? and he said 
unto him. Lord, thou knowest all things ; thou know- 
est that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my 
sheep. 

[Then shall be sung a portion from the Word.] 

BENEDICTION. 

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. 

Amen. 



MARRIAGE. 



[The Minister commences by giving some instruction concerning Marriage. The 
following may be used.] 

We are now assembled for the purpose of consecrating by 

religious service the marriage covenant between 

and . 



Jesus said, He who made them at the beginning, 
made them male and female, and said. For this 
cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall 
cleave to his wife ; and they two shall be one flesh. 
Wherefore they are no more twain but one flesh. 
What therefore God hath joined together, let not man 
put asunder. 

The marriage of one man with one woman is there- 
fore designed in our very creation by him who made 
us. The love, which brings them together and binds 
them together, flows into their minds from the Divine 
Love, — from the love which has operated hitherto, and 
which now operates, in creating and forming a heaven 
of human beings. In its origin, conjugial love is the 
union of Divine Love and Divine Wisdom, — the union 
of the Divine and the Human. In its operation, it not 
only produces men, but it produces every thing human 
in men. It prepares them for the reception of love and 
wisdom from the Lord. It unites goodness and truth 
in their minds. It thus causes them to acknowledge 
the Lord as the only source of Love and Wisdom, and 
prepares them to live in the celestial marriage union 
with him for ever. 



MARRIAGE. 45 

And since love truly conjugial is derived from the 
union of Divine Love and Divine Wisdom, and since 
it corresponds to and leads to the marriage of the Lord 
and the church, it is evident that marriage is a most 
sacred institution. It is the means of the most impor- 
tant use in the divine kingdom of uses. It is the reci- 
pient, the image and the fountain, of every blessing in 
earth and in heaven. 

But in order that our natural views and feelings, in 
marriage and concerning marriage, may be converted 
into spiritual, we must regard it as a Divine Ordinance; 
we must regard the Lord himself as present in it ; and 
we must fulfil its duties in love to him, and in obedience 
to his commandments. And therefore, in order that 
he may, now by his presence and benediction, consecrate 
the work of his own hands, let us in spirit and in truth 
look unto him for a blessing. 

[Then shall be repeated the Lord'a Prayer.] 

Our Father who art in the heavens ; Hallowed be 
thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, 
as in heaven, so also upon the earth. Give us this day 
our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also 
forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation ; 
but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, 
and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen. 

[Then the Minister, addressing the man, shall say :] 

— — , dost thou take this woman to be thy 

wife ? 

Answer: — I do. 

[Then addressing the woman, he shall say :] 

, dost thou take this man to be thy 

husband ? 

Ansicer : — I do. 



46 MARRIAGE. 

[When the consent of the parlies has heen given, the Minister shall ask them : J 

Do you now, in the presence of Him who hath all 
power in heaven and upon earth, and in the presence 
of these witnesses, declare your intention, faithfully to 
perform all your duties to each other in the marriage 
covenant, according to the laws of God 7 

Ariswej^^ each : — I do. 

[When a ring is used, the Minister shall say :] 

This Ring is given and received, in token that ye 
are now Husband and Wife. 

(Then the Minister shall make the following declaration.] 

Forasmuch as and have 

entered into the Marriage Covenant, and have mutu- 
ally promised to perform their duties to each other in 
this relation, I therefore pronounce them to be Husband 
and Wife. 

{Then a portion of the Word may be simg, if convenient.! 

BENEDICTION. 

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. 

Amen. 



FUNERAL SERVICE. 



[The Minister commences by reading some of the following passages from the 
Word.] 

O Jehovah ! make me to know mine end, 
And the measure of my days, what it is : 
That I may know how frail I am. 
Behold ! thou hast made my days as an handbreadth; 
And mine age is as nothing before thee : 
Verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity. 
Surely every man walketh in a vain show : 
Surely they are disquieted in vain : 
He heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall 
gather them. 

Lord ! thou hast been our dwelling place, 
In generation and generation. 
Before the mountains were brought forth, 
Or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, 
Even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God. 
Thou turnest man to destruction ; 
And sayest. Return, ye children of men. 
For a thousand years in thy sight 
Are but as yesterday when it is past. 
And as a watch in the night. 
Thou carriest them away as with a flood ; 
They are as a sleep : 

In the morning they are like grass which groweth up. 
In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; 
In the evening it is cat down, and withereth. 
So teach us to number our days. 
That we may apply our hearts unto wisdom. 



48 FUNERAL SERVICE. 

Like as a father pitieth his children, 

So Jehovah pitieth them that fear him. 

For He knoweth our frame ; 

He remembereth that we are dust. 

As for man, his days are as grass : 

As a flower of the field, so he flourisheth. 

For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone ; 

And the place thereof shall know it no more. 

But the mercy of Jehovah is from everlasting to ever- 
lasting upon them that fear him, 

And his righteousness unto children's children ; 

To such as keep his covenant, 

And to those that remember his commandments to do 
them. 

Now that the dead are raised, even Moses showed 
at the bush, when he called the Lord the God of Abra- 
ham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. 
For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living : for 
to him all are living. 

Jesus said, I am the Resurrection, and the Life. He 
that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall 
he live : and whosoever liveth and believeth in me 
shall never die. 

And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall 
drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind. For all these 
things do the nations of the world seek after : and your 
Father knoweth that ye have need of these things. 
But rather seek ye the kingdom of God : and all these 
things shall be added unto you. Fear not, little flock ; 
for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the 
kingdom. Sell what ye have, and give alms ; provide 
yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the 
heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, 
neither moth corrupteth. For where your treasure is, 
there will your heart be also. 

Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burn- 
ing; and ye yourselves like unto men that wait for 



FUNERAL SERVICE. 49 

their lord, when he will return from the wedding ; that 
when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto 
him immediately. Blessed are those servants, whom 
the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I 
say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make 
them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and 
serve them. And if he shall come in the second watch, 
or come in the third watch, and find them so, hlessed 
are those servants. And this know, that if the mas- 
ter of the house had known what hour the thief 
would come, he would have watched, and not have 
suffered his house to be broken through. Be ye there- 
fore ready also : for the Son of man cometh at an hour 
when ye think not. 

Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto 
ten virgins, who took their lamps, and went forth to 
meet the bridegroom. And five of them were wise, 
and five were foolish. They that were foolish took 
their lamps, and took no oil with them : but the wise 
took oil in their vessels with their lamps. While the 
bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. And 
at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bride- 
groom cometh ! go ye out to meet him ! Then all 
those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And 
the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil ; for 
our lamps are gone out. Bnt the wise answered, say- 
ing, Not so ; lest there be not enough for us and you : 
but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for your- 
selves. And while they went to buy, the bridegroom 
came ; and they that were ready went in with him to 
the marriage : and the door was shut. Afterward 
came also the other virgins, saying, Lord ! Lord ! open 
to us ! But he answered and said, Yerily I say unto 
you, I know you not. Watch therefore, for ye know 
neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man 
cometh. 

For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travellmg 
into a far country, who called his own servants, and

delivered unto them his goods. And unto one he gave 
five talents, to another two, and to another one; to 
every one according to his several ability ; and 
straightway took his journey. Then he that had re- 
ceived the five talents went and traded with the same, 
and made other five talents. And likewise he that had 
received tAvo, he also gained other two. But he that 
had received one went and digged in the earth, and 
hid his lord's money. After a long time the lord of 
those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them. And 
so he that had received five talents came and brought 
other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto 
me five talents; behold! I have gained beside them 
five talents more. His lord said unto him. Well done, 
good and faithful servant : thou hast been faithful over 
a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things : 
enter thou into the joy of thy lord ! He also that had 
received two talents came and said. Lord, thou deliver- 
edst imto me two talents ; behold ! I have gained two 
other talents beside them. His lord said unto him, 
Well done, good and faithful servant ! thou hast been 
faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over 
many things : enter thou into the joy of thy lord ! 
Then he who had received the one talent came and 
said. Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, 
reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering 
where thou hast not strowed : and I was afraid, and 
went and hid thy talent in the earth : behold thou 
hast thine own. His lord answered and said unto him, 
Thou wicked and slothful servant ! thou knewest that 
I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have 
not strowed ? Thou oughtest therefore to have put my 
money to the exchangers ; and at my coming I should 
have received mine own with usury. Take therefore 
the talent from him, and give it unto him who hath ten 
talents. For unto every one that hath shall be given, 
and he shall have abundance : but from him that hath 
not shall be taken away even that which he hath. 
And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer dark- 
ness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and 
all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the 
throne of his glory ; and before him shall be gathered 
all nations : and he shall separate them one from ano- 
ther, as a shepherd divideth the sheep from the goats : 
and he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the 
goats on the left. 

Then shall the King say unto them on his right 
hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father ! inherit the 
kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the 
\rorld : for I was hungry, and ye gave me meat : I was 
thirsty, and ye gave me drink : I was a stranger, and 
ye took me in : naked, and ye clothed me : I was sick, 
and ye visited me : I was in prison, and ye came unto 
me. Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, 
Lord, when saw we thee hungr)^, and fed thee ! or 
thirsty, and gave thee drink ! When saw we thee a 
stranger, and took thee in ! or naked, and clothed thee ! 
Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came 
unto thee ! And the King shall answer and say unto 
them. Verily I say unto you. Inasmuch as ye have 
done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye 
have done it unto me. 

Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, 
Depart from me, ye cursed ! into everlasting fire, pre- 
pared for the devil and his angels : for I was hungry, 
and ye gave me no meat : I was thirsty, and ye gave 
me no drink : I was a stranger, and ye took me not 
in : naked, and ye clothed me not : sick, and in prison, 
and ye visited me not. Then shall they also answer 
him, saying. Lord, when saw we thee hungry, or 
thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, 
and did not minister unto thee ! Then shall he an- 
swer them, saying, Verily I say unto you. Inasmuch as 
ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not 
to me. And these shall go away into everlasting pu- 
nishment : but the righteous into life eternal. •

And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, 
Write, Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from 
henceforth ! Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest 
from their labors ; and their works do follow with 
them. 

He that is unjust, let him be unjust still : and he 
that is filthy, let him be filthy still : and he that is 
righteous, let him be righteous still : and he that is 
holy, let him be holy still. And, behold ! I come 
quickly ; and my reward is with me, to give every one 
according as his works shall be. I am Alpha and 
Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the 
Last. Blessed are they that do his commandments ! 
that they may have right to the tree of life and may 
enter in through the gates into the city. For without 
are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and mur- 
derers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and doeth 
a lie. 



[Then the Minister shall give some instruction suitable to the occasion. The following 
may be used.] 

We are now assembled to perform our last earthly duties 

to a departed ^. We are about to consign 1 body 

to the tomb, whilst 1 soul is ascending into the world of 

spirits. 

To our natural feelings the duty is a sad and mournful one ; 

because our natural connection with 1 has come to an 

end. We can no longer see or hear 1 ; for with our na- 
tural senses we can perceive nothing but what is natural. 
Therefore, to our natural views and our natural feelings, 
there appears to be a total separation. And consequently, 
while we permit our natural feelings to prevail in us, we shall 
mourn. 

But in the doctrines of the New Jerusalem we are taught, 
that this apparent separation is not a real separation ; that our 
friends continue to live ; and that they remain as near unto 
us spiritually, as they were before. 

These doctrines teach us that nothing but the body of man 

• Brother or sister. t His or her. : Him or het 



1 



FUNERAL SERVICE. 53 

dies ; that nothing bat his body is buried in the grave. They 
teach us that his spirit, when divested of its natural covering, 
continues to live ; that when he casts off the natural body, he 
rises in a spiritual body ; that he continues to exist in the 
human form ; that he is in every respect more perfectly human 
than he was before ; that his prevailing character remains the 
same ; that his ruling affections and thoughts remain the same ; 
and consequently, that he continues to be as properly an object 
of aflfection, as he was when present to our senses. 

From the doctrines of the New Jerusalem we learn, that all 
the inhabitants of the spiritual world are arranged in societies 
according to their characters ; that similarity of character 
draws them together, and that dissimilarity separates them : 
that all those who act from love to the Lord and the neighbor, 
are in the heavens ; and that all those who act from the love 
of self and the world are in the hells : that in the heavens 
there are various kinds of good affections ; and in the hells, 
various kinds of evil affections : and that those who have simi- 
lar affections, and who are thus qualified to live together and 
act together, are drawn into the same society. 

From these doctrines we learn, that all of us, who are in 
the natural world, are internally and spiritually associated 
either with good or evil spirits, who are similar to ourselves : 
that if we act from good affections, we are internally associated 
with, and act with, good spirits ; and that if we act from evil 
affections, we are internally associated with evil spirits, and 
act with them : also, that we can come out of an evil society 
into a good one, by resisting our evil affections, and cherishing 
those which are good ; and that we go out of a good society 
into an evil one, when we resist the good, and cherish the 
evil. 

We learn that when a person dies, he comes into manifest 
association with the spirits that he was before internally 
and secretly associated with ; that for this purpose he is di- 
vested of every thing which is not in agreement with his 
ruling affections. If his internal and ruling affections are 
good, he is cleansed from all external impurities ; but if they 
are evil, he is divested of all the external appearances of good- 
ness, which would enable him to deceive. 

We learn that when a person dies he comes into the spiri- 
tual world ; which is adapted to his spiritual body, as the na- 
tural world is adapted to the natural body : that there is a 
correspondence between the spiritual world and the natural 
5^ 



54 FUNERAL SERVICE. 

world ; between the spiritual bod}^ and the natural body ; be. 
tween the spiritual senses and the natural senses; and between 
spiritual employments and natural employments : and that as 
he then has a body, which is adapted to the world in which 
he lives, and to the uses which he has to perform, therefore 
his material body will never be resumed. 

We learn that if we are internally and spiritually united to 
any person while here, the union is not severed by death : 
that, although he is then invisible to us, and we are invisible 
to him, yet his influence still continues to operate upon us, 
and that our influence continues to operate upon him : that 
we are still spiritually near together: that his affection for us 
still contributes to our happiness, and that our affection for 
him still contributes to his happiness. We thus learn not to 
mourn at the death of our friends, as if they had ceased to 
exist, nor as if they had ceased to be what they were, nor as 
if we were entirely separated from them : but at the same time, 
we learn to mourn on account of those habits of thinking and 
feeling which bind our spirits to the earth, and make us un- 
mindful of the world to which our friends have gone, and to 
which we are going. We learn to mourn, not because our 
friends are dead, but because we ourselves have so little of 
spiritual life. 

With regard to those who die in infancy and childhood, we 
learn from the doctrines of the New Church, that they are, 
through the mercy of the Lord, all of them saved. For until 
a man arrives at maturity, he does not become confirmed in 
his opposition to the government and laws of God, nor fixed 
in the determination and habit of acting according to the dic- 
tates of his own will and understanding. We learn that 
those, who leave this world during infancy, enter the spiritual 
world as infants; and that those, who leave here in childhood, 
enter that world as children : that as soon as they leave the 
material body, and are thus born into the spiritual world, the 
angels receive them with the greatest joy, watch over them 
with the tenderest affection, and instruct them step after step 
in the wisdom of heavenly life, until they grow to maturity ; 
until they are prepared to engage in angelic employments, 
and do themselves become angels. 

Under the light of the New Jerusalem, the terrors of death 
are not destroyed, but they are converted into instructers. In 
the minds of those who see by this light, the idea of death is 
transformed into that of resurrection. They do not think 



FUNERAL SERVICE. - 55 

about the end of temporal existence, but about the com- 
mencement of eternal existence. Instead of the darkness 
of the grave, they think about the light of the spiritual world : 
for the light of the New Jerusalem is heavenly light : it is the 
light by which angels see : and when we are in it, we cannot 
think about the cold inanimate body, which is left in the tomb ; 
but about the living man, who is rising into the spiritual 
world. We cannot sympathize with the matter which is cast 
off, but with the spirit which is delivered from it. We do 
not, in our thoughts, go through the gloom of funereal cere- 
monies to the gates of darkness and oblivion ; but we rise, as 
he rises ; we leave these things behind us ; and in our affec- 
tions and thoughts go with him into the abodes of eternal life 
and heavenly joy. 

When we are under the light of the New Jerusalem, we 
see in death an image representing the regeneration of man. 
As death is the passage from the natural world into the spiri- 
tual, so regeneration is the change from a natural to a spiritual 
state of mind. While we are suffering ourselves to be rege- 
nerated, all our corporeal and worldly views and feelings are 
brought into subjection. In following the Lord, we are 
obliged to forsake our houses and lands, our brethren and 
sisters, our father and mother, our wife and children, for his 
sake. From love to him, we are to renounce our natural 
selfish affections for our relatives and property. And when 
we have thus put aw^ay our natural affections, we shall be 
prepared to have spiritual ones ; and shall thus receive an 
hundred fold. We thus pass from a worldly into a heavenly 
state of mind. We then look down upon the world as they 
do who have left it. We look upon it only in relation to its 
spiritual design and uses. We regard it and we value it, 
only as a place of preparation for heaven. 

At death we also leave a world from which the Lord is ap- 
parently absent, and come into one where he is manifestly 
present. So when we suffer ouselves to be regenerated, we 
pass out of a state of mind from which the Lord is apparently 
absent, into one in which he is constantly present : out of a 
state in which we imagine that we have power of ourselves to 
will, to think and to act, into one in which we perceive and 
acknowledge that without him we can do nothing. We come 
into this state, by following him, and putting ourselves under 
his government : by denying ourselves, and learning to ac- 
knowledge him. For he is as really present with us while 



56 FUNERAL SERVICE. 

we are in this world, as he will be when we go into the spiri- 
tual world. It is because our affections and thoughts are far 
from him, that he appears to be far from us. It is our self- 
love and self-confidence, that prevents us from perceiving his 
presence, and feeling his influence. These things must there- 
fore be overcome ; they must die in us, before our minds can 
be opened to receive him. 

Jesus saith. He that hath my commandments and keepeth 
them, he it is that loveth me ; and he that loveth me shall be 
loved of my Father; and I will love him, and will manifest 
myself to him. 

He that loveth father or mother more than me, is not worthy 
of me : and he that loveth son or daughter more than me, is 
not worthy of me : and he that taketh not his cross and fol- 
loweth after me, is not worthy of me. He, that findeth his 
life, shall lose it ; and he that loseth his life for my sake, 
shall find it. 

[Then shall be repeated the Lord's Prayer.] 

Our Father, who art in the heavens ; Hallowed be 
thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, 
as in heaven, so also upon the earth. Give us this day 
our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also 
forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation ; 
but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, 
and the power, and the glory forever. Amen.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.

ARTICLES OF FAITH, 

Of the NeiD Church signified by the New Jerusalem in 
the Revelation. 



iTo be read, when deemed proper, after the Second Portion from the Word in Public 
Worship; or on other occasions : the people sitting.] 

1. That Jehovah God, the Creator and Preserver of hea- 
ven and earth, is Love Itself and Wisdom Itself, or Good It- 
self and Truth Itself: That he is One both in Essence and in 
Person, in whom, nevertheless, is the Divine Trinity of Father, 
Son, and Holy Spirit, which are the Essential Divinity, the 
Divine Humanity, and the Divine Proceeding, answering to 
the soul, the body, and the operative energy in man : And 
that the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is that God. 

2. That Jehovah God himself descended from heaven, as 
Divine Truth, which is the Word, and took upon him Human 
Nature for the purpose of removing from man the powers of 
hell, and restoring to order all things in the spiritual world, 
and all things in the church : That he removed from man the 
powers of hell, by combats against and victories over them ; in 
which consisted the great work of Redemption : That by the 
same acts, which were his temptations, the last of which was 
the passion of the cross, he united, in his Humanity, Divine 
Truth to Divine Good, or Divine Wisdom to Divine Love, 
and so returned into his Divinity in which he was from eter- 
nity, together with, and in, his Glorified Humanity ; whence 
he for ever keeps the infernal powers in subjection to himself: 
And that all who believe in him, with the understanding, from 
the heart, and live accordingly, will be saved. 

3. That the Sacred Scripture, or Word of God, is Divine 
Truth Itself; containing a Spiritual Sense heretofore un- 
kno^vn, whence it is divinely inspired and holy in every syl- 



58 ARTICLES OF FAITH. 

lable ; as well as a Literal Sense, which is the basis of its 
Spiritual Sense, and in which Divine Truth is in its fulness, its 
sanctity, and its power : thus that it is accommodated to the 
apprehension both of angels and men : That the spiritual and 
natural senses are united, by correspondences, like soul and 
body, every natural expression and image answering to, and 
including, a spiritual and divine idea : And thus that the 
Word is the medium of communication with heaven, and of 
conjunction with the Lord. 

4. That the government of the Lord's Divine Love and 
Wisdom is the Divine Providence ; which is universal, exer- 
cised according to certain fixed laws of Order, and extending 
to the minutest particulars of the life of all men, both of the 
good and of the evil : That in all its operations it has respect 
to what is infinite and eternal, and makes no account of things 
transitory but as they are subservient to eternal ends ; thus, 
that it mainly consists, with man, in the connection of things 
temporal with things eternal ; for that the continual aim of the 
Lord, by his Divine Providence, is to join man to himself and 
himself to man, that he may be able to give him the felicities 
of eternal life : And that the laws of permission are also laws 
of the Divine Providence ; since evil cannot be prevented 
without destroying the nature of man as an accountable agent ; 
and because, also, it cannot be removed unless it be knov^m, 
and cannot be known unless it appear: Thus, that no evil 
is permitted but to prevent a greater; and all is overruled, by 
the Lord's Divine Providence, for the greatest possible good. 

5. That man is not life, but is only a recipient of life from 
the Lord, who, as he is Love Itself and Wisdom Itself, is also 
Life Itself; which life is communicated by influx to all in the 
spiritual world, whether belonging to heaven or to hell, and 
to all in the natural world ; but is received differently by 
every one, according to his quality and consequent state of re- 
ception. 

6. That man, during his abode in the world, is, as to his 
spirit, in the midst between heaven and hell, acted upon by 
influences from both, and thus is kept in a state of spiritual 
equilibrium between good and evil ; in consequence of which 
he enjoys free-will, or freedom of choice, in spiritual things 
as well as in natural, and possesses the capacity of either 
turning himself to the Lord and his kingdom, or turning him- 
self away from the Lord, and connecting himself with the 
kingdom of darkness : And that, unless man had such free- 



ARTICLES OF FAITH. 59 

dom of choice, the Word would be of no use, the Church 
would be a mere name, man would possess nothing by virtue 
of which he could be conjoined to the Lord, and the cause of 
evil would be chargeable on God himself. 

7. That man at this day is born into evil of all kinds, or 
with tendencies towards it : That, therefore, in order to his 
entering the kingdom of heaven, he must be regenerated or 
created anew ; which great work is effected in a progressive 
manner, by the Lord alone, by charity and faith as mediums, 
during man's co-operation : That as all men are redeemed, 
all are capable of being regenerated, and consequently saved, 
every one according to his state : And that the regenerate 
man is in communion with the angels of heaven, and the un- 
regenerate with the spirits of hell : But that no one is con- 
demned for hereditary evil, any further than as he makes it 
his own by actual life ; whence all who die in infancy are 
saved, special means being provided by the Lord in the other 
life for that purpose. 

8. That Repentance is the first beginning of the Church in 
man ; and that it consists in a man's examining himself, both 
in regard to his deeds and his intentions, in knowing and ac- 
knowledging his sins, confessing them before the Lord, sup- 
plicating him for aid, and beginning a new life : That to this 
end, all evils, whether of affection, of thought, or of life, are 
to be abhorred and shunned as sins against God, and because 
they proceed from infernal spirits, who in the aggregate are 
called the Devil and Satan ; and that good affections, good 
thoughts, and good actions, are to be cherished and performed, 
because they are of God and from God : That these things 
are to be done by man as of himself; nevertheless, under the 
acknowledgment and belief, that it is from the Lord, operat- 
ing in him and by him : That so far as m^an shuns evils as 
sins, so far they are removed, remitted, or forgiven ; so far 
also he does good, not from himself, but from the Lord; and 
in the same degree he loves truth, has faith, and is a spiritual 
man : And that the Decalogue teaches what evils are sins. 

9. That Charity, Faith, and Good Works, are unitedly ne- 
cessary to man's salvation ; since charity, without faith, is 
not spiritual, but natural ; and faith, without charity, is not 
living, but dead ; and both charity and faith, without good 
works, are merely mental and perishable things, because with- 
out use or fixedness : And that nothing of faith, of charity, or 



60 ARTICLES OF FAITH. 

of good works, is of man; but that all is of the Lord, and all 
the merit is his alone. 

10. That Baptism and the Holy Supper are sacraments of 
«livine institution, and are to be permanently observed ; Bap- 
tism being an external medium of introduction into the 
Church, and a sign representative of man's purification and 
regeneration ; and the Holy Supper being an external medium, 
to those who receive it worthily, of introduction, as to spirit, 
into heaven, and of conjunction with the Lord ; of which also 
it is a sign and seal. 

11. That immediately after death, which is only a putting 
off of the material body, never to be resumed, man rises again 
in a spiritual or substantial body, in which he continues to 
live to eternity ; in heaven, if his ruling affections, and thence 
his life, have been good ; and in hell, if his ruling affections, 
and thence his life, have been evil. 

12. That Now is the time of the Second Advent of the 
Lord, which is a Coming, not in Person, but in the power and 
glory of his Holy Word : That it is attended, like his first 
Coming, with the restoration to order of all things in the spi- 
ritual world, where the wonderful divine operation, commonly 
expected under the name of the Last Judgment, has in conse- 
quence been performed ; and with the preparing of the way for 
a New Church on the earth, — the first Christian Church hav- 
ing spiritually come to its end or consummation, through evils 
of life and errors of doctrine, as foretold by the Lord in the 
Gospels : And that this New or Second Christian Church, 
which will be the Crown of all Churches, and will stand for 
ever, is what was representatively seen by John, when he be- 
held the holy city. New Jerusalem, descending from God out 
of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

After these things I heard a great voice of much people 
in heaven, saying, Alleluia! Salvation, and glory, and honor, 
and power, to the Lord our God ; for true and righteous 
are his judgments. And again they said. Alleluia! And 
the four and twenty elders and the four animals fell down 
and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen! 
Alleluia ! And a voice came out of the throne, saying, 
Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him,

Hear my prayer, God ! 

And hide not thyself from my petition. 

Take heed unto me, and hear me : 

How I mourn in my prayer, and am troubled. 

My heart is disquieted within me ; 

And the fear of death is fallen upon me. 

Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me ; 

And horror hath overwhelmed me. 

Then I said, O that I had wings, like a dove ! 

Then would I fly away, and be at rest.

O Jehovah, our Lord. 

O Jehovah, our Lord, 

How excellent is thy name in all the earth ! 
Who hast set thy glory above the heavens. 
Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings 
Hast thou ordained strength, 
Because of thine enemies. 
To put to silence the enemy and the avenger. 
When I behold thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, 
The moon and the stars which thou hast ordained ; 
What is man, that thou art mindful of him ? 
And the son of man, that thou visitest him ? 
For thou madest him a little lower than the angels, 
And hast crowned him with glory and honor. 
Thou hast made him to rule over the works of thy hands; 
Thou hast put all things under his feet : 
Flocks and oxen all of them. 
And also the beasts of the field : 
Birds of the heavens, and fishes of the sea. 
And whatever passeth through the paths of the seas. 
O Jehovah, our Lord, 

How excellent is thy name in all the earth !

That went down to the skirts of his garments : 
Like the dew of Hermon, 
That descended upon the mountains of Zion : 
For there Jehovah commanded the blessing, 
Life forevermore.

Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty. 

And behold, a throne was set in heaven, and One sat on 
the throne. And around the throne were four and twenty 
thrones ; and upon the thrones, four and twenty elders sit- 
ting. And in the midst of the throne and around the throne 
were four animals. And they have no rest day and night, 
saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, who was, 
and is, and is to come. And the four and twenty elders 
fell down before Sim that sat on the throne, and worshiped 
Him that liveth forever and ever, saying, Thou art worthy, 
O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power : for thou 
hast created all things ; and for thy pleasure they are, and

And when they drew nigh to Jerusalem, Jesus sent two 
disciples, saying unto them, Go into the village over against 
you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt 
with her : loose them, and bring them unto me. And the 
disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them, and 
brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, 
and they set him thereon. And a very great multitude 
spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches 
from the trees, and strowed them in the way. And the 
multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, say- 
ing, Hosanna ! Blessed is he that cometh in the name of 
the Lord ! Hosanna in the highest !

Behold ! the Tabernacle of God is with Men. 

And I saw a new heaven and a new earth ; for the first 
heaven and the first earth passed away, and the sea was 
no more. And I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, de- 
scending out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned 
for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven, 
saying, Behold the tabernacle of God is with men, and he 
shall dwell with them, and they shall be his people ; and 
God himself shall be with them, their God. And he shall 
wipe away all tears from their eyes ; and death shall be no

for the former things are passed away.

And they cried with a great voice, saying, Salvation to our

all the angels stood around the throne, and the elders, and

To Him that loved us. 

Grace be unto you, and peace, from Him who is, and who 
was, and who is to come ; and from the seven Spirits that 
are before His throne ; and from Jesus Christ, the faithful 
Witness, the Firstbegotten of the dead, and the Prince of 
the kings of the earth. To Him that loved us, and washed 
us from our sins in His own blood, and hath made us kings 
and priests unto God and His Father; to Him be glory and 
dominion for ever and ever : Amen.

Blessed are they that do His Commandments. 

And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the pro- 
phecy of this book : for the time is at hand. He that is 
unjust, let him be unjust still : and he that is filthy, let him 
be filthy still : and he that is righteous, let him be righteous 
still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. And, be- 
hold ! I come quickly ; and my reward is with me, to give 
every man according as his work shall be. I am the Alpha 
and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and 
the Last. Blessed are they that do his commandments ! 
that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter 
in by the gates into the city.

This is the day which Jehovah hath made ; 

We will rejoice and be glad in it. 

Save now, I beseech thee, O Jehovah : 

O Jehovah, I beseech thee, send thou now prosperity. 

Blessed be he that cometh in the name of Jehovah: 

We have blessed you out of the house of Jehovah. 

God is Jehovah, who hath showed us light : 

Bind the sacrifice with cords, to the horns of the altar. 

Thou art my God, and I will praise thee : 

My God, I will exalt thee. 

O give thanks to Jehovah ; for he is good : 

For his mercy is forever.

When Jehovah shall build up Zion, 

He shall appear in his glory. 

He will regard the prayer of the destitute, 

And will not despise their prayer. 

This shall be written for the generation to come ; 

And the people which shall be created shall praise Jah. 

For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctu- 

From the heavens did Jehovah behold the earth; [ary; 

To hear the groaning of the prisoner : 

To release the sons of death ; 

To declare the name of Jehovah in Zion, 

And his praise in Jerusalem.

Behold ! I come quickly. 

And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and 
true : and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel 
to show unto his servants the things which must shortly 
be done. Behold ! I come quickly ; and my reward is with 
me, to give to every one as his work shall be. I am the 
Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the 
First and the Last. And the Spirit and the Bride say. 
Come ! And let him that heareth, say. Come ! And let him 
that thirsteth come ! And let him that willeth take water 
of life freely. He who testiiieth these things saith, Surely 
I come quickly. Amen : Yea, come. Lord Jesus !

30 To Him that loved us, 

31 Blessed are the poor in spirit, 

32 Blessed are they that do his commandments, 

33 Thou art my God, 

34 When Jehovah shall build up Zion, 

35 Thou \\-ilt show me the path of life, 

36 Behold, I come quickly,

PRINCIPLES OF CHANTING. 



On the Style of the Sacred Scriptures. 

One of the most remarkable peculiarities in the style of the Sacred 
Scriptures, is, the frequent occurrence of its subjects in pairs ; for ex- 
ample, nations B.ndp€ople — joy and gladness — justice, or nghteousness, and 
judgment — speak and say — see and behold, — and numberless others. (See 
INum. xxiii. 7 to 10, 18 to 24 ; and xxiv. 5 to 9, and 17 to 19 ; and the 
Psalms and Prophets throughout.) The consequence of this is, that the 
sentences or verses are generally composed of two clauses ; which is 
almost invariably the case in the Psalms, and indeed in most parts of 
the Word, though it might not, at first sight, appear. Some instances 
occur, where the clauses are triple ; — Ps. xxiv. 7 to 10 ; Ps. c. 

It is generally thought a sufficient explanation of this, to say that it 
is according to the oriental style of writing ; as if, in saying this, it 
would not be necessary to assign a cause for this same oriental style ; 
which, nevertheless, had its origin in the same cause as the style men- 
tioned above. In the doctrines of the New Jerusalem Church, for whose 
use this work is compiled, it is shown that every part of the Divine 
Word has a spiritual sense ; and that, as it is written for the instruction 
of man, whose mind is constituted of two faculties, zciZZ ajid understand- 
ing, the former for the reception of goodness, and the latter for that of 
truth, from the Lord ; therefore the Word is, in all its parts, accommo- 
dated to man as possessed of these two faculties ; and in the above 
double arrangement of subjects, the one always has reference to goodness, 
or the will of man, and the other to truth, or his understanding ; and 
where a third clause is added, it refers to the union of goodness and trtith 
in operation, act or life : also, that the Word not only relates to man, but 
primarily to the Lord ; and that these same subjects in the Word have 
reference to love and wisdom in him ; and that the various names of 
Jehovah, or Lord, and God — Father and Son — Creator and Redeemer, — 
which are applied to the Divine Being in the Word, — have the same 
reference ; and that where a third subject is added, it refers to the union 
of love and wisdom in the Lord in operation, that is, to his Holy Spirit. 

Structure of Chants. 

This peculiar structure of the verses in the Sacred Scriptures, is the 
ground on which the common chant is constructed. A Chant, there- 
fore, is a musical composition, consisting of two strains, as Chant 40, in 
which are to be sung the two clauses of a verse or sentence. The first 
strain comprises three measures or bars, and the second four. The first 
fiote in each strain is called the chanting note, and usually fills the first 



388 PRINCIPLES OF CHANTING. 

measure ; and the remaining notes are called the cadence. To the chant- 
ing note of the first strain is sung the first clause of the verse, except a 
sufficient number of the last words or syllables to apply to the cadence ; 
and to the chanting note of the second strain is sung the second clause, 
except words enough to sing the cadence. Several words, making what 
is called the recitative, will thus be sung to the chanting note ; and 
though it is always a note of some given duration, (generally a semi- 
breve,) yet it is to be regarded as having no time of itself, but is to be 
made longer or shorter, according to the number of words or syllables 
to be sung to it. This is the Single Chant. A Double Chant consists 
of four strains, instead of two, and is intended for two verses of the 
psalm. A Ternary Chant is composed of three strains, for psalms whose 
verses consist of three clauses. Chant 43 is peculiar, and is to be sung 
by repealing the second and third strains after the first, alternately ; and 
of course sings two verses. 

Of THJE Application of the Words in Chanting. 

" A great difficulty, in arranging the words of a chant, is to know 
when to break oflT from the words of the recitative, and to begin the 
cadence." An attempt has been made, in this work, to obviate this dif- 
ficulty, by placing a perpendicular dash, thus, ( | ) imrnediatehj hrfore 
the syllable ichich covimences the second measure. The location of this 
dash has been governed solely by the sense of the passages. It is a 
well-known rule, that in double time (common time), which is the time 
of all the chants used in this work, the first note of a measure is ac- 
cented, and the second unaccented. The endeavor has been, so to place 
the dash, that the accented and emphatic syllables will naturally fall to 
the accented notes, and the unaccented and unimportant syllables to the 
unaccented notes; and particularly to make the last accented or em- 
phatic syllable commence the last measure of the cadence, by whatever 
number of syllables or words it might be followed. The manner of ap- 
plying the words, after the dash, must therefore be governed by the ac- 
cent ; but, in some instances, unaccented syllables unavoidably fall to 
the accented part of the measure. The most simple application of the 
words is where the dash can be so placed as to leave just as many syl- 
lables after it as there are notes in the cadence ; as in Selection 126, ver. 
1. But this cannot often be effected without wholly disregarding the 
expression of the sense of the words; nor. if it could be done, is it in- 
deed desirable, since the cadences would become disagreeable from their 
monotony. Two syllables are necessarily, therefore, often given to one 
note, and. in a few instances, even three ; and upon the last note of the 
cadence, it has sometimes been necessary to put four syllables, when 
the last accented syllable of the clause was the fourth syllable from the 
end, as in the word testimonies. In a few cases, it has been necessary 
to make one syllable fill a measure ; but such syllables have all been 
distinguished bv printing them in italic characters ; as, the syllable/or, 
in Sel. Ill, vert 7. 

It is a rule generally laid down, to pronounce loved, hoped, and the 
like, as two syllables, in reading the Scriptures, though they are con- 
tracted in secular discourse ; but the words in these Selections have 
been arranged according to the latter pronunciation, simply for the sake 
of rythm ; except the word blessed, and such others as are never con- 
tracted. In some instances, however, the contracted syllable has bee© 



PRINCIPLES OF CHANTING. 389 

wanted, and in such cases it is separated by a hyphen; as in Sel. 148, 
ver. 1. A similar case occurs in Sel. 70, ver. 2, line 2. 

Verses of three clauses occur occasionally, and the extra clause must 
be sung by repeating one of the strains of the chant. This is indicated 
by placing before on'e of the clauses a figure which numbers the strain 
to which it is to be sung. Some other irregularities are indicated in the 
same manner, the practice of which will occasion no difficulty. There 
are a few instances in which a distinct clause, as Amen and amen, Praise 
qe J AH, and the like, will be found to remain after the cadence is sung 
through ; and these should be sung by repeating a sufficient number of 
the last notes of the cadence. 

Rules for Chanting recommended in using this Work. 
[The figures in parentheses refer to the Examples on pages 394 and 395.] 

In singing the words to the chanting note, the utterance, pronuncia- 
tion, accent^ emphasis, inflection, pauses and expression, should be the 
same as in deliberate reading. In reading or speaking, unimportant 
words occupy much less time in the utterance than important words, 
even though both be of but one syllable ; and in singing to the chanting 
note, the same relative duration should be carefully preserved. 

If there is a passing note in the chanting measure, sing to it the last 
syllable before the dash, if the syllable be unaccented ; but if accented 
or important, commence this syllable on the chanting note, and slur it 
on the passing note. 

The above rule for singing to the chanting note ceases when we come 
to the cadence; for the cadence should always " be given in correct time, 
the beat of which can be felt." Still, however, as much of the expression 
of reading or speaking should be given to the words of the cadence, as 
is consistent with correct time. 

But the last note of the cadence should not be regarded as having a 
fixed time. If the word which is sung to it is a single syllable, the 
sound may be protracted as far as the production of good effect may dic- 
tate (1) ; but if there falls to it more than one syllable, they should be 
uttered agreeably to the rule for singing to the chanting note, or nearly 
so (2). 

The measures of the cadences are generally made up of minims, and 
the application of the words is simple where there is a syllable to each 
minim, that is, two syllables to each measure, as before stated (1) ; though, 
in a few instances, the accented syllable may fall to the wrong part of 
the measure (38). When three syllables fall to a measure, they may be — 
I, the first and second accented or important, and the third not, — 2, the 
first accented, and the other two not, — 3, the first and third accented, 
and the second not, — or 4, the first and second unaccented, and the third 
accented. Four other cases are mathematically possible, but would be 
absurd in practice, and do not occur. 

In the first of these cases, where the first and second syllables are ac- 
cented, and the third unaccented, as the syllables aJl thine in-, Sel. 126, 
ver. 3, the first syllable must evidently be sung to the first minim of the 
measure, and the other two to the last (3) ; but the last minim must not 
be sung as two crotchets, but as a pointed crotchet and quaver ; or rather, 



390 PRINCIPLES OF CHANTING. 

in most instances, less time than a quaver should be given to the unac- 
cented syllable, throwing' it in slightly after the accented one (3 and 4, 
the pointed crotchet being indicated by a dot). 

In the second kind, where the first syllable is accented, and the other 
two not, the first is sung to the first minim, and the two others to the 
second minim as two crotchets ; as the syllables blow and the, Sel. 138, 
ver. 7 (5, G). But, though combinations of this kind are very common, 
yet there are few wherein the former of the two last syllables is not more 
accented and more important than the latter ; as to in deeds to the, Sel. 
12G, ver. 7; and therefore a very great majority of the cases apparently 
falling under this class should be sung by making the last minim a 
pointed crotchet and quaver (7, 8). But when the three syllables of this 
class are made up of a word of two syllables accented on the first, and 
followed by an unimportant syllable, as chidren of, Sel. 126, ver. 7, the 
word of two syllables should always be sung to the first minim, in the 
manner explained in the next paragraph (9, 10). 

In examples of the third class above named, where the first and third 
are accented, and the second unaccented, the unaccented syllable should 
be invariably sung with the first syllable to the first minim ; yet it should 
rarely receive the time of a quaver, but should be thrown in slightly 
after it ; as the syllables joy of thy, Sel. 127, ver. 6, or acts of Je-, ver. 
2 (11, 12). Words of three syllables accented on the first, as merciful, 
or the three last syllables of in-iquity, belong to this class, since the first 
syllable after an accent is less accented than the second : they should 
therefore be sung as here explained (13, 14). 

In the fourth case, where the first and second syllables are unaccented 
and the third accented, as m the Red, Sel. 133. ver. 3, the two first sylla- 
bles should Ite sung to the^r^f minim, precisely as explained of the two 
unimportant syllables in case second above (1.5, 16). 

In some instances, as before stated, it has been impossible to avoid 
putting four sj'llables into one measure ; but these cases are few, not 
amounting to twenty in the whole work. Except four, they all consist 
of three syllables in the same word followed by another syllable ; as 
the three last syllables of an-ticipate, Sel. 109. ver. 4, — of pros-perity, Sel. 
44, ver. 6, — and the words publisheth and comforted, in Sel. 65. In all 
such, the three syllables belonging to the same word should be sung to 
the first minim, and the following syllable to the second (19, 20); and 
several words so situated, as pitieth, reverenced, covenant, Israel, may be 
contracted and uttered nearly as two syllables (21, 22), which will 
much improve the effect. The four cases excepted above are the syl- 
lables heavens and up-, Sel. 91, ver 6, — solitary, Sel. 96, ver. 4,— feet 
into the, Sel. 42, ver 4, — and the three last syllables of con-tinually, Sel. 
92, ver. 1. The first and second of these are given (17, 18) : in the 
third, into the should be sung to the second minim; and in the fourth, 
the three first syllables should be contracted into two. 

The species of contraction just mentioned should be used in several 
other instances ; as toioWd for to'ward (not toicard'), Sel. 124, ver. 5 (26, 
27) ; psaWry for psaltery, Sel. 73, ver. 2 (25) ; — so th' oppressor for the 
oppressor, Sel. 10, ver. 4; th' itpright for the upright, Sel. 95 (23, 24); 
and many other cases, especially where a word ends with a vowel, and 
the next begins with a vowel : but care should be taken in pronouncing 
them, as the sound either of w or y is always implied in contractions of 
the latter kind (23, 24). 

The proper manner of singing the last note of the cadence has been 



PRINCIPLES OF CHANTING. 391 

before stated ; and it is only necessary to add, that the last accented syl- 
lable of a clause should be carefully made to fall on this last note (58, 
29), so as to preserve, as far as possible, the expression of correct read- 
ing : for example, Sel. 122, ver. 6, line 2, might have been pointed thus : — 
Save with thy right | hand and answer me ; which would have injured 
the sense, as the last accented syllable is not me, but the first syllable 
0? answer, and the phrase ansicer me conveys a unity of idea (34, 35). 
This proper expression and unity of idea is, in some instances, lost, for 
the want of a sufficient number of syllables in the clause, to apply to 
the cadence. Thus, in Sel. 22, ver. 2, line 2, the three last syllables, 
'Vivetk me, ought to fall to the last note (30) ; but this could not be done 
without placing the dash before ihy, and making it fill the second meas- 
ure, that is, singing it to four crotchets in the treble; which was es- 
teemed a greater evil than the loss of expression. So in Sel. 112, ver. 
6, taught me ought to fall to the last note (31) ; but then the two pre- 
ceding syllables must each fill a measure, and it may be doubted which 
is the better way. Some care will be found necessary in order to bring 
the last accented syllable upon the last note ; and the case must always 
be decided by the proper manner of reading the clause, and not by the 
apparent importance or unimportance of the words. Indeed, this sylla- 
ble is often apparently a very unimportant word, a preposition, for ex- 
ample, followed by a word of one syllable ; as, to me, Sel. 4, ver 4, — with 
me, Sel. 14, ver. 1, — against thee, Sel. 20, ver. 3, — hy it, Sel. 19, ver. 4, 
and he-fore him, ver. b, — also, Sel. 49, ver. 3 ; 25, ver. 4 and 7 (32, 33) ; 
and many more : but prepositions so situated are evidently more fre- 
quently not accented. [The remaining examples (36, 37, 3S) are only 
a few particular instances of the more difficult application of the words.] 
These remarks proceed on the supposition that the cadences are made 
up of minims. Crotchets are a defect in them, inasmuch as they are an 
additional hindrance to the proper utterance of the words; and though 
they must, in some cases, vaiy the application of the foregoing princi- 
ples, yet they may be sung as a pointed crotchet and quaver, where the 
effect would thereby be improved. 

The object in chanting is to express the sentiments of the words in 
musical times ; and, consequently, the first of these rules cannot be too 
carefully studied and followed. No one, whatever may be his merits 
as a singer, can give full effect to chanting, unless he is also a good 
reader. He must attend to the sentiments, /eeZ them, and wish to express 
them musically. Many choirs assume the chanting note with the voice, 
and read the several syllables to it very hastily, giving to each, as nearly 
as possible, the same time and the same force. Comment on this prac- 
tice is needless. The habit, unavoidably contracted in singing psalm 
tunes, of giving the same time to every syllable, whether important or 
unimportant, is also injurious to chanting, and must be carefully re- 
sisted. Sentences are composed not only o^ clauses, but of phrases con- 
sisting of two or three words. The following clause consists of three 
phrases ; — ^nd in the sariie covntry, xcere shepherds, abiding in the field. 
Now, in reading, we make nearly a pause, though not an actual suspen- 
sion of the voice, after each phrase. In chanting, these phrases should 
be carefully studied. But to follow the rules of good reading mechan- 
ically, will produce the same stiffness in chanting as in reading. Ease 
and expression are the things to be aimed at, and these rules, it is be- 
lieved, will be found to promote them. To utter the words with that 
spirit and those feelings which their sense seems calculated to inspire, 



392 PRINCIPLES OF CHANTING. 

should be the highest aim. This is not the place for a dissertation on 
the character of the Psalms and other (usually styled) poetical parts of 
the Word, from which the Selections in this work are drawn. Viewed 
in their literal sense, they are calculated to excite the deepest emotions, 
whether of sublimity or of pathos, of exaltation or of humility, of comfort 
or of reproof, of confiding trust or of trembling hope, of joy or of sad- 
ness, of prayer or of praise. Add to this, that we are taught that they 
are spirit and life ; that they are the medium through which the Divine 
Spirit flows into, and operates in the minds and hearts of men : still, 
it may be safely said, that all the sentiments which they can inspire in 
our hearts, may find their full expression, and experience full satisfac- 
tion in the chant. 

Of the Arrangement of the Parts in Choral Music. 

An ignorance has heretofore existed, and it is to be feared still exists, 
in this country, in regard to the proper relations of the parts in choral 
music. This may have originated in the custom of printing the tenor 
and alto on the treble staff; for it has been supposed^ that as the notes 
stood on the same place in the staff, they meant the same sound. But 
it must never be forgotten, that the same note in the tenor and treble 
means a sound an octave lower in the tenor than in the treble : thus, in 
Chant 64, the first note of the second strain, both in the treble and tenor, 
is on C in the third space of the staff; but the C in the tenor means the 
C which is printed in a small note on the first leger line below the treble 
staff. An attempt has been made to exhibit the parts in their proper 
relations as to pitch, on pages 394 and 395. If a tenor voice were to 
sing the treble in that chant, it would sing the small black notes which 
are an octave below the treble. See, also. Glorification 36. The ac- 
companiment ought throughout to have been written as in these cases ; 
but the close harmony, to be played with the right hand, was generally 
preferred, because it was thought that this book might be used on the 
piano-forte, where it would be desirable to have the left hand play 
octaves in the base. 

The treble should always be sung by females ; and never by men, 
unless from necessity : the alto should be sung by the lower female 
voices, and by boys ; and may be sung by very high men's voices : the 
tenor, by the higher voices of men ; never by women : and the base, by 
the lower voices of men. This would seem to make it proper that the 
treble should be the upper staff, the alto next, the tenor next, and the 
base at bottom : and they should always be so printed, except where it 
is necessary to have the treble brought down next the base, for con- 
venience in playing the organ or piano-forte. Throughout this work, 
the base stands at the bottom, the treble next, the tenor next, and the 
alto at top ; unless otherwise directed on the pages. 

Of the Time of the Cadence. 

The words of the recitative should be read very deliberately ; and 
accent and emphasis cannot be too carefully observed : but the custom, 
has been to sing the cadence much too slow. The time in which any 
Chant should be sung, must be governed entirely by the subject of the 
Selection ; but the rule for the cadence is, to sing the minims of the 



PRINCIPLES OF CHANTING. 393 

cadence in the same time as is given to an accented and emphatic word 
of one syllable in the recitative. 

General Remarks. 

Chants 81, 95, and 107, are in some degree peculiar, having two in- 
troductory notes before the chanting note. These two notes should be 
sung to one or more of the first syllables of the line, always passing to 
the chanting note by an unaccented syllable. 

Some have expressed a desire to have the Chants and Selections 
written out at large, with the words divided under the notes by lines, in 
the manner sometimes found in singing-books. The present work, 
so arranged, would make a large folio volume. Glorification 36 is a 
specimen of this ; and the matter, which there fills two pages, though 
printed in two lines, would fill but the half of one, if written like the 
other Selections. 

Though, in general, the Choruses alone will be sung in public wor- 
ship, yet a few Solos, Duets and Trios, have been inserted in the vol- 
ume ; but in no case, unless they were parts of the same Anthem as the 
Choruses, and were of sterling character. It is believed that these will 
be gladly received for social religious use ; and the question, why they 
should not be sung in public, perhaps merits consideration. All the 
Anthems that have been thus fully inserted, are by Kent. Glorifica- 
tions 6 and 7, and the intermediate Solos and Duet, are an Anthem of 
his on Psalm 23. 

The reader will observe that, in some instances, the expressions in 
the Services, Selections and Glorifications, are not the same as in the 
common translation of the Bible. Indeed, nearly the whole of the con- 
tents of this book was revised, and much the largest part was carefully 
compared with the original, aided by the best helps that could be pro- 
cured. Much pains were taken to make the translation literal ; but no 
alterations were attempted, unless a manifest improvement could be 
made. The names Jahovak and Jah, heretofore translated Lord, have 
been invariably restored ; and wherever the word Lard now occurs in 
passages from the Old Testament, it stands for the Hebrew word which 
signifies a lord ; except in Glorifications 9 and ] 3, where the structure 
of the music did not allow a change in the words. Where the word 
Lord occurs in passages from the New Testament, it means the Lord 
Jesus Christ, or Jehovah manifested in the flesh, unless there is direct 
or implied reference to the Old Testament. When the word Jehovah 
is pointed for the vowel i in the original (Jehovih), it has been re- 
tained. A few verbal alterations have been made, for the better 
application of the words to the music ; such as changing the location 
of the words, or the insertion of do, did, and the like : and. in several 
instances, the Hebrew word Hallelujah is given, immediately followed 
by its signification in English, Praise ye Jah, for the sake of lengthen- 
ing the line. In the examples on pages 394 and 395, several clauses 
are much altered ; but this was necessary in order to shorten them so 
as to bring them within the width of the page. 

The Committee are under great obligations to Mr. Lowell Mason, 
one of the Professors in the Boston Academy of Music, not only for 
permission to copy several chants and choruses from his musical pub- 
lications ; but also for the loan of the Gregorian Chants, and two other 
collections of Chants published in England,
